INTERESTING FACILITY—Hie Hampton Mariners Museum at Beaufort has displays of
sea and shore birds, fish, mammal, specimens and sea shells. Museum Curator Charles
McNeill is shown at left.
Personal Touch In Museum
BEAUFORT - The
Hampton Mariners Museum
located here is designed and
operated to give visitors a
personal experience about
North Carolina and the sea.
The moving force behind
the museum is curator
Charles McNeill, who refers
to himself as a “beached
mariner’’. It takes just a few
minutes with McNeill to
learn of his love for the sea
and his enthusiasm for the
museum.
“We operate the museum
with a personal touch. We
want people to really learn
something when they come
here,” said McNeill.
Beaufort is entrenched
with history, and nearby are
Morehead City, Atlantic
Beach, Emerald Isle, and
Salter Path.
The Hampton Museum
was created in 1952 by an act
of the N.C. Legislature and
is an arm of the Museum of
Natural History located in
Raleigh. The Department of
Agriculture operates both
museums.
For years the museum
was more or less in a state of
limbo, being shuffled from
room to room and con
taining a few boards with
shells jjnJhem, Butjfl|ng
came McNeill, and things
began to happen. He has
been at the museum for
three years after being
director of the the N.C. Port
at Morehead City, and a

former merchant marine.
He is a graduate of the
U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy.
From only 25 to 30 visitors
a day, the museum is now
attracting as many as 700
people a day.
“I have always wanted to
go to sea,” said McNeill, a
native of Whiteville.
It is the sea, the history of
the men who sailed the tall
ships, and the modern
biologists who study the sea,
that form the backbone of
the museum.
The museum has an
outstanding collection of
shells, shorebirds, fish and
mammal displays. Natural
habitat-oriented saltwater
aquaria offer the op
portunity to study live
marine creatures native to
the coastal environment.
Traditional North
Carolina designed boat
building is highlighted in the
artifact section, and a
section is devoted to
privateering documents,
boat building tools and
navigation instruments.
Marine artifacts are found
throughout the museum,
and a “ship’s library”
contains plans, char{§ and
historical volumes:- •»* *
A tour of the museum can
last from 30 minutes to two
hours. And, visitors can
further learn about the sea
through tidal flat, rock
jetty, and salt marsh field
trips, and shelling trips.
Occassionally cruises to
surrounding areas are of
fered. Sailing lessons are
also offered. Advance
registration for these
programs is advisable
There is a small fee for
some of them.

fisherman yacht, the “Rum
Runner” is used for outdoor
activities. And on display,
are a 1910 Beaufort sprit
sailing skiff, a 40-year-old
sharpie, and a 50-year-old
Beaufort racing skiff.
“There is no average day,
month or season for us,”
said McNeill. “Each period
is a challenge, and we have
a wonderful staff. They
deserve a world of credit for
their dedication. We want
visitors to ask questions.
We have people ready and
willing to help them.”
An interesting collection
in the museum is the one on
ship models. Studying the
minute detail on some of the
models can be mind
boggling.
McNeill is also an ac
complished artist, and
many of his watercolors
hang proudly in homes of
North Carolinians and
others.
“My painting has fallen
by the wayside. I don’t have
as much time as I used to
have, but my desire to
create is fulfilled in the
museum.
“I had private lessons
when I was 10 years old,”
McNeill added, “but the rest
-of the painting I just •
picked up. I never will pass
up the chance to see a good
painting.”
With that gleam you’ll
find only in a Scotsman’s
eye, he said: “When I wrote
my mother that I was going to
work with the museum, it
didn’t surprise her. She sent
me a copy of a newspaper
article written when I was 11
telling about my visit to a
museum.
McNeill said there many
things he and his staff would
like to do. They are now
planning a Strange Seafood
Spectacular, which is an
exchange of unusual
seafood.
The museum is open year
around, with the exception
of Christmas and New
Years Day, Monday through
Friday, from 9 to 5, and on
Sunday from 2 to 5. There is
no admission fee.
When visiting the
musuem, ask about the
programs going on outside,
after you have enjoyed the
displays. Chances are they
will have something going
on, and you can bet it will be
done with a personal touch.
