The pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach) met his end after a bloody battle behind Ocracoke Island at a spot known today as Teach's Hole. During the 1800's so many ships were lost along these shores that Congress established the United States Life-Saving Service to patrol the beaches and rescue crews from ships which were in trouble. Read more about these brave men who conducted thousands of perilous rescues, often in raging storms, how over thirty of the most famous shipwrecks occurred and other interesting facts. This is all shown on this beautiful chart. Also included are sketches and information about the famous lighthouses of the Outer Banks.
