In the fall of 2013 and the summer of 2014, graduate students from East Carolina University's Program in Maritime Students, in collaboration with the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute, carried out a project recording six watercraft from a collection of historical small watercraft collected and maintained by the Whalehead Preservation Trust in Currituck County, North Carolina. This volume contains six chapters that serve as the technical reports concerning these six vessels. Each chapter reports the process of recording the boats and their histories and also engages in interpretation and analysis of the form, function, and methods of construction. This publication intends to communicate the results of maritime-focused historic preservation activities concerning a small part of Currituck County's legacy of boat-building

The ports at Beaufort, Wilmington, New Bern and Ocracoke, part of the Outer Banks (a chain of barrier islands that sweeps down the North Carolina coast from the Virginia Capes to Oregon Inlet), were early involved in the chaos that grew into the Civil War. Though smaller than their counterparts in South Carolina, the small river ports were useful for the import of war materiel and the export of cash producing crops, through their use of the inlets that led from sounds to sea. Written from official records, contemporary newspaper accounts, personal journals of the soldiers, and many unpublished manuscripts and memoirs, this is a full accounting of the Civil War along the North Carolina coast.
