Judi Heit is a history buff who has been researching shipwrecks off the North Carolina coast since 2010, when Hammond Innes book "Wreck of the Mary Deare" captured her imagination. The Heits live in Oriental, NC ... a fishing village that takes its name from the Steamer Oriental, wrecked off their coast in May 1862. (This blog last updated on 2/25/2019.)
