While the beach may not be in your plans today, we have a sandy question for ya for #TriviaThursday so remember just give us your best guess, only one, and check back at 5 p.m. for the answer

When the USS West Point returned from its 56.5 months at war, it needed a fresh coat of paint. How many pounds of sand was used to wet sandblast the Navy's plastic paint off her undersides? ... See MoreSee Less

Miss Katy has never been crabbing (rarely has gone fishing but SHH don't tell Lori). With the need for crab meat, and the local crab houses not having any due to COVID-19 shuting down the picking houses, we went on an adventure to catch our own!

Join us on Tuesday, July 7th at 5 p.m. for "The one that got away" using an attended crabpot.. FEAR NOT! There will be a part two where we use an unattended crabpot. ... See MoreSee Less

Halfway through our Maritime Yearbook Superlatives! Who do you think you will see in the next few weeks? Tag those who exemplify this week's standouts!

Cape Fear River Pilots
Just like in airplanes, the Cape Fear River Pilots are tasked with the safely of people and cargo. These Pilots board massive vessels to safely navigate them to and from the Port of Wilmington. In May 2020 they brought in the largest vessel to ever call on the Port of Wilmington! This vessel's LOA (length overall) was right at 1200 feet!

Dunbar Davis
No matter the weather, no matter the sea conditions, Davis went out to help distressed mariners and vessels. During his service, he worked at both Life Saving Stations in the Cape Fear Region and saw the change over of the U.S. Life Saving Service to the U.S. Coast Guard. He is most known for his heroic "Longest Day" when he saved crews from two schooners and assisted crews from one brig and two more schooners all during the same three day storm.

Crab Pickers
"I don't know if you've ever picked crab but it is not an easy task. I picked like a dozen and had blisters." - Lori. Now imagine working to pick crabs day after day as ships brought in their catches. These women were no joke! Southport had many crab houses along the waterfront and in the surrounding communities dedicated to preparing seafood for selling. These crab houses were owned by wealthy white families and employed African American women almost exclusively. Pay and conditions were not the best, but they persevered to make money for their families. Often multiple generations would be working together in the same house.

Should you choose to be out celebrating, please do so safely by wearing a cloth face covering, washing your hands regularly, and waiting 6 feet apart. ... See MoreSee Less
