Segment 3, July 29th, 2023

The Carolina Outdoors is now in session!  On this segment, host Bill Bartee, takes us to the county seat of Carteret County, NC.  Beaufort, NC, is spelled the same as a coastal town in SC with the difference being the pronunciation.  Beaufort, NC, is the fourth oldest city in the state (behind Bath, New Bern, & Edenton) founded in 1713 & home to the North Carolina Maritime Museum Beaufort (NCMMB).

Christine Brin, Associate Education Curator for the NCMMB, joins the program to talk about the exhibits, events, & education opportunities that the Museum offers.  During the summer conventional and cane pole fishing classes are available to kids, enabling them to learn the a sport that they otherwise may not be introduced.

Brin lets us know about the whaling exhibit & the traditions of North Carolina & whaling.  Many times the locals will name the whale, including Echo, who is on display at the Museum.

Other popular exhibits involve Pirates.  In fact, the famed pirate Black Beard, grounded his ship the Queen Anne’s Revenge in the nearby Beaufort Inlet.

The opportunities during the summer are often on the increase due to the influx of tourists during the summer.  However, the Museum stays popular year round due to the programming and seasonal offerings.

August brings a lecture series on female pirates, Ann Bonny & Mary Read, as well as another on the Hurricane of 1879.

Brin mentions the event commemorating the Pirate Invasion of 1747, when the town was caught up in a battle against Spanish pirates.

Christine Brin also describes one of her favorite events.  The Murder Mystery:  “Only Murders at the Museum” is taking place on September 1st, 2023.  Get your tickets while supplies last.

 

 

Wardrobe for the host was provided by Charlotte outdoor store, Jesse Brown’s, the Charlotte store Patagonia & the Charlotte dealer for Free Fly.
