17107. O’Neal, Earl W., Jr. Ocracoke Island; Its People, the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy Base During World War II. 2001. Self published. 198 p. Soft wraps. Autographed by author. The Coast Guard has a long history on Ocracoke Island. Also, during World War II, Ocracoke first served as a location for a Navy Section Base, 1942-44; later as an Amphibious Training Station, 1944-45, and as a Combat Information Center. After World War II electricity, paved roads, telephones, ferries, and automobiles, and especially the establishment of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park with an Ocracoke marina, an area headquarters, and Information Center, and an Ocean Beach Campsite, brought in many more tourists so that modern motels and hotels and restaurants were established. Thus with the 20th Century came the important enterprises which tourism calls for. Filled with photos and information about the Navy and Coast Guard influences on the island, as well as information on many of the men who served there over the years. Quite interesting, filled with photos. Difficult to find. (F-). $78.
