Whale & Porpoise Fishing

Many people are unaware that Outer Bankers engaged in whale and porpoise fishing as recently as 1926. You can read about these enterprises in our latest Ocracoke Newsletter at http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news082115.htm.










You will even learn why the island's northernmost creek is called Try Yard Creek.
