Exciting news came from Beaufort, NC last Thursday, when they successfully lifted two cannons from the shipwreck of the Queen Anne's Revenge out of the water. This was the first time in almost 300 years that they have seen the light of day. The Queens Anne Revenge was a French ship that was taken by the infamous Blackbeard the pirate. The ship was ran aground in 1718 near the Beaufort inlet. The wreck was discovered in 1996. Lots of artifacts that have been recover already are located at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, NC. For more information, click here.

Ok, sorry to get that song stuck in yur head but stay with me a moment.... The NC Wildlife Resource Commission and the town have come to a resolution regarding cutting or saving the aged old oaks at the public boat launch on Taylors Creek, along the west end of Front Street Beaufort NC.   This debate which has gone back and forth for many months has settled with what I consider a fair compromise. Work is underway for improving the site allowing for more manuverable space at the launch site and addressing storm water management.  Local reports covered the story which was  fueled from both sides of this environmental issue. In the end 9 of 14 old oaks were saved, and today as I drove by to observe the progress of the site I witnessed the yellow ribbons that marked the protected trees. The... 01/27/2011
