UPDATED NEWS!!!!!!!! We received a distress call for Bounty at 1830 Sunday evening October 28th that the Ship lost power and the pumps were unable to keep up with the dewatering. At that time we immediately contacted the USCG for assistance. A C130 was sent to there position approximately 90 miles SE of Cape Hatteras. Sunday morning approximately 0400, the Captain ordered all hands to abandon ship. There were 16 Crew on board. The USCG dispatched helicopters to rescue the brave crew. At this time, 14 of the 16 crew members have been safely returned to land and are in good health. We are saddened to report that there is still one crew member missing and one crew member that did not make it. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of the crew member that is no longer with us. The USCG is continuing their efforts to search for the missing crew member and we are praying for a safe return. Please keep them in your prayers! We will keep everyone informed as info becomes available. - --Helium4 (talk) 07:50, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

cape kendricks
What was once called called Cape Hatteras may in fact have been Cape Kendricks about 30 miles to the north where Whimble Shoals is today..the entire shoreline of Hatteras Island has been radically changed over the years probably due mainly to deforestation and erosion..it is a very complicated issue and there are people who know more about it than me who should be editing this article...there is a lot of misinformation circulating regarding the Outer Banks in general.

 * sure doesn`t..Hatteras is for all practical purposes the eastern most point in the US..yes I understand there is a section of New England that is further east..look on a map — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.242.102.242 (talk) 20:45, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

strand of islands or bend in an island?
The article contains both of these statements: "Cape Hatteras is a thin, broken strand of islands..." and "Cape Hatteras is a bend in Hatteras Island, one of the long thin barrier islands...".

Which is correct?165.225.38.232 (talk) 20:04, 21 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Cape Hatteras is a cape..it is the point where the Gulf Stream  and the Labrador Current  meet..Hatteras Island is a barrier Island which is part of a chain of islands off the coast of North Carolina which is part of the outer banks..Cape Hatteras is the widest part of the island..the village of  Hatteras  is at the south end of the island 2600:1702:2340:9470:200B:8D97:705A:F35B (talk) 00:58, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
