Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book of the State of North Carolina, Exhibiting Its Resources and Industries Formerly, when commerce was carried on exclusively in sailing ves sels, this coast was justly dreaded, for shipwrecks were frequent. Large profits were then occasionally realized by these islanders, though at great personal risk, in the way of salvage on goods rescued from the sea. But the introduction of steam vessels, and the establishment of signal stations, have rendered navigation so safe that a shipwreck is rarely heard of.
