Beaufort Bridge - Morehead City, North Carolina
Built in 1957, here is the Beaufort Bascule Bridge near Morehead City. I erroneously state that it is the only bascule in North Carolina, but it is one of very few. The placement of this bridge is interesting in that there is a high-level fixed bridge (built around the same time) on the same road a mile to the south.
Rum Barrel Girl Written and Performed by Gumbo Lily Beaufort NC
There's a cemetery in Beaufort that's simply called The Old Burying Grounds. It is undeniably an old cemetery, the earliest marked grave is dated to 1711. It's beautiful, peaceful old tombstones are covered with a shady canopy of moss-covered live oak trees. But there's one grave in the cemetery that has a story to tell that sadder and stranger than most, and it tells it on the simple wooden plaque that marks the grave and reads Little Girl Buried in a Keg of Rum.
The story begins in the mid-18th Century when a family named Sloo (pronounced Slow) traveled from England to the North Carolina colony bringing with them their infant daughter. Sloo was a merchant captain who made his living trading in the English settlements scattered across the Atlantic. The family was prosperous, and they soon built a gorgeous house which still stands on the Beaufort waterfront.
But despite thriving in the colonies, the mother was homesick and often spoke of England. As the Sloo's daughter grew, hearing her mother's stories, she too began to long to see the distant land where she was born. Whenever her father was about to set sail, she would beg him to take her with him so she could see England for herself.
The father knew that life at sea was difficult. The voyage to England took months, and a sailing ship was no place for a child. But he also wasn't blind to his daughter's happiness. After years of pleading, he finally agreed that she could travel with him. The mother consented to the voyage on one condition, that no matter what happened, he would bring their daughter back to her in Beaufort. And so, one bright morning, leaving his wife behind, Sloo and his daughter set sail for England.
And so the young Sloo girl finally got to see the land where she was born. She delighted in the excitement of London and marveled at being in a land where not everything was new.
But on the return voyage, the father's forebodings proved to be all too true. Just a week or so out of port, the young girl fell ill and died.
It was the custom in those days for anyone who passed away on a ship to be buried at sea. But Captain Sloo couldn't bear to allow his daughter's body to be lost in the depths of the ocean. And he recalled his promise to his wife, no matter what happened, he would bring her daughter home to her in Beaufort.
So the Captain did what he could. There was only one thing on board the ship which could preserve a body, something which every sailing ship carried in copious supply, rum. Captain Sloo gently placed his daughter's body in one of the many barrels of rum in the hold and sealed the barrel shut.
When he returned home with the heartbreaking news to his wife, she wept for her lost daughter. Not wanting to disturb her further by exposing her to the condition of their daughter's body after being soaked in rum for months on end, Sloo arranged for his daughter to be buried in the cemetery with a barrel full of rum as her casket.
Today, the grave of the Rum Girl, as she is known, is one of the most-loved tombs in all of North Carolina. Visitors to the tomb will leave toys, flowers, stuffed animals, beads, and other small tokens of affection when they visit the grave of the Rum Girl in Beaufort's Old Burying Grounds.
But there are some who say that her story doesn't end there. There are those who say that the figure of a young girl can be seen running and playing between the graves in the Old Burying Grounds at night. They say that the tributes left on the young girl's grave are often moved about the graveyard at night, often found sitting balanced on top of other gravestones or in places they couldn't have moved to by just the wind.
How To Get There
The Old Burying Grounds is located on Ann Street in Beaufort. The grave of the Rum Girl is located near the back of the cemetery. The graveyard is open to the public and maintained by the Beaufort Historical Association, which also offers tours of the graveyard.
Appallingly, in June 0f 2016 the grave of the Rum Girl was severely damaged by a vandal who, for unfathomable reasons, set fire to the wooden marker. At the time of writing, The Beaufort Historical Association was hopeful that the grave can be restored, but would certainly be grateful for donations to assist with the repairs and to help with the costs of maintaining this historic site.

Around Town: Beaufort
Beaufort has seen a lot in its long, colorful life.
This coastal community, established in 1709 and incorporated in 1723, is the third-oldest town in North Carolina (only Bath and Edenton are older). In the three centuries since its founding, pirates, freed slaves, fishermen, and a host of other travelers have all sought shelter in this quiet corner of Carteret County.
Today, some 4,000 people live there year-round; come summertime, this town swells with folks visiting from across the state and around the world.

Beaufort ( /ˈboʊfərt/ boh-fərt[3]) is a town in and the county seat of Carteret County, North Carolina, United States.[4] Established in 1709, it is the third-oldest town in North Carolina.[5][6] On February 1, 2012, Beaufort was ranked as America's Coolest Small Town by readers of Budget Travel Magazine.[7]
The population was 4,189 at the 2008 census. It is sometimes confused with a city of the same name in South Carolina; the two are distinguished by different pronunciations.[3]
Beaufort is located in North Carolina's Inner Banks region. The town is home to the North Carolina Maritime Museum, the Duke University Marine Laboratory (Nicholas School of the Environment), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research.

Eye of the Sand Tiger on the USCG SPAR, Beaufort, North Carolina
Often, there are quite a few Sand Tiger sharks cruising around the Coast Guard cutter, The SPAR. Here's part of the video I shot while diving The SPAR with Discovery Diving. I shot this in the video mode with a Sea & Sea still camera. So, unfortunately, it's not HD, but it's still a great way to remember a great wreck dive.
