Waypoints

Coast Guard Look-out Point

During World War II, 20 - 25 men patrolled the beach by horseback on the lookout for German submarines. Several US Merchant Marine ships were observed being torpedoed and set afire. A German submarine was caught near Wilmington. There was even a story that a German U-Boat came into Shallotte Point and bought gas.
