On this date in 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. It declared, of course, that the thirteen American colonies were now a new nation, the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire.

This month's Ocracoke Newsletter is a recording of Rex O'Neal telling about the time he fell overboard when he was gigging for flounder. The story was recorded for Coastal Voices, an oral history project about the maritime heritage of the Outer Banks and Down East region of coastal North Carolina.
