OCRACOKE ISLAND JOURNAL
On May 25, 1884 the Scotish steamer Glasbolt with a crew of 16 and one passenger, on its way to Philadelphia with a load of fruit, wrecked on the South Point of Ocracoke because the captain misidentified the Ocracoke lighthouse. The weather was fair and the ship was in no immediate danger. The Life Saving crew "stayed [sic] by them" until the wrecking steamer from Norfolk "come to her relief."
