FROM ONE PIRATE TO ANOTHER

I LIVE IN THE LAND FROM WHICH THE PIRATES SAILED. BATH NC IS MR TEACH'S (BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE)SO CALLED HOME. BEAUFORT IS THE TOWN WHERE HE SUNK HIS SHIP AND WAS KILLED. ALL OF THEM ARE CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE. THE WATERS OFF OUR COAST IS FILLED WITH SHIPSWRECKS AND IT IS KNOWN AS THE GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC. PEOPLE WOULD WALK OUR SHORES WITH LANTERNS TO ATTRACT SHIPS INTO OUR DANGEROUS COASTAL AREAS AND WHEN THE SHIP WRECKED UPON THE SHORE, THEY WOULD ROB AND KILL THE PASENGERS THEN LOOT THE CARGO...THE ISLAND OF HATTERAS GOT ITS NAME WHEN A SHIP LOAD OF STOVE PIPE HATS (ABRAHAM LINCOLN WORE ONE) WAS WRECKED ON THE ISLAND BY FALSE LANTERNS..A VISIT TO THESE PLACES IS WORTH IT AND WE HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR OUR BEACHES AS THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY...
