“Graveyard of the Atlantic”
Cape Hatteras has long been known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic—a name earned by the countless vessels lost to shifting sands, hidden shoals, and sudden storms. The confluence of the Labrador and Gulf Stream currents off these shores creates hazardous conditions that once made this stretch of ocean one of the most feared on the East Coast. This wreck, possibly a 19th-century schooner, surfaces only when wind and tide align, revealing a small piece of maritime history. It stands as a silent witness to the unforgiving waters that claimed it, and the lives forever changed by the sea.
