It's that time again. We've just published our most recent Ocracoke Newsletter. This month I reprint a 1951 newspaper article about a trip to Ocracoke before ferries and before the state paved the roads. The article documents the wonderful adventure of crossing Pamlico Sound on the mailboat "Aleta."
Take a journey back in time with us and capture some of the thrill of visiting a place like none other in the world. You can read the newsletter here.
If any of our long-time visitors have stories about trips on the Aleta, we'd love to hear them. Just leave a comment, or send us an email.

I've heard the Aleta is now in the Neuse river. Does anyone have any location information?
ReplyDeleteI have heard the same thing, but don't know exactly where it's located. It would be great if someone would raise and restore her.
