 |
| Shackleford Banks, part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore, is a barrier island. Barden's Inlet on the east end and Beaufort Inlet on the west end define the island. This barrier island contains well-developed dunes due to a good source of sand and wind. From the 1850's through 1899, this island was inhabited by a small whaling community called Diamond City. What might life on this barrier island have been like in the 19th century? |
