in rebuilding the Photographer Ray Garner of Seagrove sent this photograph of the bridge to Carolina Country this summer. “The people who rebuilt the bridge did a great job,” Garner said. “It should stand for future generations to see it.” Ray Garner can be reached at 2459 NC Hwy 705, Seagrove, NC 27341.

Isabel Breach: Photography by Peter Hornby A reminder of Hurricane Isabel in September 2003, this famous photo of the Hatteras Island breach is now available by mail order. Photographer Peter Hornby, who lives on Hatteras Island and in Maine, commented about how amazing it seemed to look at the new inlet and see water flowing from the Pamlico Sound eastward into the ocean. A massive governmental effort eventually filled in the breach and connected the two ends of Highway 12. Seen here snaking up the beach is the dredge pipe carrying sand from near Hatteras Inlet. Peter Hornby's renditions of this scene are printed on heavy, postcard stock and measure 12 by 18 inches. The price is $7, including shipping. Checks can be payable to P.R. Hornby. Prints will be mailed flat. Contact Peter Hornby at P.O. Box 7099, Ocean Park, ME 04063. Or reach him at P.O. Box 456, Avon, NC 27915. |
