Shipwrecks - The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum

The waters of Hatteras are thought to hold one of the highest densities of shipwrecked vessels in the world. Thousands of ships and countless mariners all lost the same battle in the shores of the Outer Banks: the battle against piracy, war and the sea itself. This innovative museum is more than a collection of sunken ships and wayward dreams.

The Lost Colony

Experience the wonder of the New World as it is reenacted before your eyes in the nation's longest running outdoor drama. It's the story of 117 men, women and children settling the first colony on this country's shores. What happened next has become one of the oldest mysteries in America. With hard times ahead, the settlers sent one man back to England for supplies. He was unable to return for three years and when he did, they all had vanished. Written by Pulitzer Prizewinner Paul Green and performed under the stars at the beautiful Waterside Theatre, the show has thrilled over three million visitors since its debut in 1937. With its unique blend of drama, stirring music, energetic dance and dazzling costumes, The Lost Colony is the perfect vacation entertainment for your entire family.
