Description
An old wooden skiff sits abandoned along the shore at Harkers Island, North Carolina. Perhaps it broke its mooring during a storm and washed up here. Maybe the boat's owner simply abandone it. It was likely once used by one of the local commercial fishermen. Today it hints at a simpler, less hectic time.
Harkers Island is located in an area known as Down East Carteret county and is part of the Crystal Coast. Isolated from the mainland until a bridge was built a few decades ago, many of the islanders speak with a brogue that is similar to the English used by early settlers. That unique language is slowly disappearing due to the recent accesibility. Traditionally a fishing village, vacation homes are now springing up all around the island.
