You may take it from Captain
D. W. Fulcher, Fourth
of July celebrations in Southport
aren't what they used
to be. The time was, according
to the Captain, when sailboat
races played an Important
part In the local observance
of the birthday of the
nation.
Captain Fulcher had with
L..
him a sliver cup won uy mm |
in the Fourth of July race
in 1895 when he flashed the
"Elizabeth Stevens" across
the finish line ahead of her
three competitors. He was
successful in defending the
trophy on the two following
years and it came into his
permanent possession. The
cup is on display in The
State Port Pilot office.
