Outer Banks: Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum

#OBX #hatterasisland #outerbanks
The Outer Banks of North Carolina has earned the nickname "The Graveyard of the Atlantic." Why would people call this popular island resort area by such an unappealing name? On our recent trip to Hatteras Island, we went to the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum to learn more. This video overview of the museum provides a brief history of the dangerous waters of the Atlantic along the east coast of North Carolina. We discuss the weather, the wars, and even the pirates that have caused difficulty for sailors for centuries. And we'll talk about what lurks underwater that has led to shipwrecks and death along the lovely vacation destination of the Outer Banks.

For more about this fascinating museum, visit them online (after watching our video, of course) at
