For some 290 nautical miles the famous Inland Water
way cuts through eastern North Carolina rivers and
sounds to provide a safe inside, all weather water route
preferred by shallow craft, freighters, barges and nearly
all of the North-South yacht traffic. The route passes
many of the most interesting and historical spots in
North Carolina with frequent yacht basins offering every
facility, enhanced by unspoiled native hospitality and
atmosphere. Every year its traffic is increasing.
The natives of Eastern North Carolina, as in most
coastal areas, are bom to face up to realities in a prac
tical manner, which is one reason why this area sub
scribes to the "legal control" system of beer and ale at
being in the best interests of all concerned.
