NORTH CAROLINA'S HURRICANE HISTORY: Fourth Edition
by Jay Barnes
"The first severe hurricane of the twentieth century to move across the North Carolina coast came late in 1904, on November 13. This category 3 storm passed near Hatteras during the morning and brought high tides and heavy rains to the entire coast. Two schooners were wrecked near Cape Fear and extensive damage was reported at Fort Caswell. At New Inlet, the storm surge swept away the Life Saving Station, and four crewmen drowned. Four lives were lost in the wreck of the Missouri, a schooner that went down near Washington, North Carolina."
