In 2012, two Outer Banks-based organizations, the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute and the Whalehead Preservation Trust began to collaborate on education, outreach, and research projects.
Since this time, a number of maritime heritage-themed projects have commenced through the collaboration of an extended group of organizations in Eastern North Carolina including Outer Banks Conservationists LLC, and East Carolina University. Similarly focused events and programs have been held either at locations within history Currituck County or at the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute on subjects from Currituck history.
This website is intended to serve as the memory of these programs, and provide members of the public an opportunity to learn more about the area’s maritime heritage
