North Carolina's Other Ocean
Season 2 Episode 7 | 27m 40sVideo has Closed Captions
"In 1524, Giovanni daVerrazano sailed the east coast of North America.
After sailing between two land masses (the present site of Ocracoke Inlet), he was certain he had found the long sought passage to China. In reality he had found an inland sea separated from the Atlantic by the barrier islands known today as the Outer Banks. To him the Pamlico Sound looked like another ocean.
