Travel by sea along the Eastern seaboard of the United States can be especially troublesome, but no section more so than the Outer Banks off North Carolina. The strong currents that allow ships to travel quickly also bring them close to shore. Shifting sands and notoriously rapid changes in weather have wrecked many a ship, thus earning the early moniker the graveyard of the Atlantic.
