This chart shows the shipwrecks around Cape Lookout, the second of the three North Carolina Capes, and the southern portion of the Outer Banks. Many of the wrecks here occurred during World War II when this area was known as "Torpedo Alley" due to the large number of ships sunk by German U-boats during 1942. Recently, the Queen Anne's Revenge, the flagship of the Pirate Blackbeard was discovered off Beaufort Inlet and this ship is shown on the latest revision of this chart, which is very popular with summer visitors and scuba divers. Also included on the chart is information about the "Big Rock", the Gulf Stream,and the treacherous shoals of Cape Lookout.
