E.M. Livingood, a Kill Devil Hills retiree, feeds the seagull he has named Georgette and for whom he had provided filleted trout for the past four months while the bird sat atop his baseball cap.

It is a routine learned by much of the gull population over the years. The broken shards cover vacant parking lots today, but 15 years ago the debris caused a serious problem to motorists travelling the Outer Banks. State transportation crews had to operate sweepers between Nags Head and Buxton for a time in 1973. Bright white stencils of gulls with outstretched wings were once painted on the pavement in an attempt to scare the birds, but the birds soon realized they were fakes and continued their eating habits. Motorists had to suffer with sliced tires from the razor sharp fragments until other hard surfaces appeared in the late 70s.

A tugboat makes an attempt to pull the dredge ADCO off of a sand bar Wednesday evening several hours after the vessel broke free from its mooring in the Atlantic Ocean near Oregon Inlet. The vessel, owned by the American Dredging Company, had been working at Oregon Inlet for several weeks dredging the channel of the treacherous inlet. A gale that whipped up high waves caused the mishap nearly one year after the dredge Northerly Island broke free from anchor on Oct. 26, 1990 and crashed through the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge. At least two tugboats, Coast Guard vessels, and other craft were still making attempts late Tuesday to secure the ADCO, which was one mile east of the Bonner Bridge at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

A close up view of the Decision Arcs system shows a plotting map for the county of Dare on the North Carolina coast. Concentric lines eminate from Cape Hatteras at 20 mile increments. In a real hurricane, the storm's path and current position are plotted on the map. A circular plexiglass "storm" is placed on the plotting map at the real storm's last known position. Concentric lines eminate from the apparent center of the storm (at index finger of shown hand), again at 20 nautical mile increments. As the plexiglass "storm" follows the positions of the actual storm and gap between the storm and the coast narrows, the concentric lines eminating from both begin to overlap. Predetermined formulas incorporating storm size, central pressure, rate of travel, evacuation lines, etc. are listed in a book issued to each county as part of the Decision Arcs system. As a result of these formulas, certain concentric lines are identified out from both the storm center and the county (for this map, Cape Hatteras). When those lines make contact, local officials automatically begin making evacuations.

The Elizabeth II ship's boat Silver Chalice prepares to make landfall at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island in a 1984 reenactment of John White's historic return to the New World in search of colonists from England. White and a small landing party found the word CROATOAN scratched on a tree at the abandoned settlement on August 18, 1590. Coincidentally, it was three years exactly from the 1587 birth of his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. Little evidence was left as the encampment indicating what had happened to the colonists or where they had gone. The settlement and its people have since been referred to as "the lost colony." A collaboration of Elizabeth II crew and actors from "The Lost Colony" outdoor drama made the landing and placed a wreath on the earthwork remains of the fort.

Lowe wasn't fishing for shark that afternoon, but his plans changed when a friend's float rig attracted the six-foot long fish. Rob Crawford, who owns the rod and reel used to catch the shark, had left the pier for a couple of hours to take care of some other business when the big fish struck. Angler Lowe fought the fish for 3 hours and 45 minutes before it could be beached. The fight was elongated because the open faced conventional reel had 25-pound test line on it. Big sharks are rare on the Outer Banks, but this one gave a thrill to the large crowd that saw the event.

The crew of the Elizabeth II's ship boat Silver Chalice makes landfall at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island in a 1984 reenactment of John White's historic return to the New World in search of colonists from England. White and a small landing party found the word CROATOAN scratched on a tree at the abandoned settlement on August 18, 1590. Coincidentally, it was three years exactly from the 1587 birth of his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. Little evidence was left as the encampment indicating what had happened to the colonists or where they had gone. The settlement and its people have since been referred to as "the lost colony." A collaboration of Elizabeth II crew and actors from "The Lost Colony" outdoor drama made the landing and placed a wreath on the earthwork remains of the fort.

The Elizabeth II ship's boat Silver Chalice prepares to make landfall at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island in a 1984 reenactment of John White's historic return to the New World in search of colonists from England. White and a small landing party found the word CROATOAN scratched on a tree at the abandoned settlement on August 18, 1590. Coincidentally, it was three years exactly from the 1587 birth of his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. Little evidence was left as the encampment indicating what had happened to the colonists or where they had gone. The settlement and its people have since been referred to as "the lost colony." A collaboration of Elizabeth II crew and actors from "The Lost Colony" outdoor drama made the landing and placed a wreath on the earthwork remains of the fort.

The crew of the Elizabeth II's ship boat Silver Chalice makes landfall at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island in a 1984 reenactment of John White's historic return to the New World in search of colonists from England. White and a small landing party found the word CROATOAN scratched on a tree at the abandoned settlement on August 18, 1590. Coincidentally, it was three years exactly from the 1587 birth of his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. Little evidence was left as the encampment indicating what had happened to the colonists or where they had gone. The settlement and its people have since been referred to as "the lost colony." A collaboration of Elizabeth II crew and actors from "The Lost Colony" outdoor drama made the landing and placed a wreath on the earthwork remains of the fort.

Bright white stencils of gulls with outstretched wings were once painted on the paement in an attempt to scare the birds, but the birds soon realized they were fakes and continued thier eating habits.
