After our ferry ride, we made a visit to the NC Maritime Museum. Of course I love pretty much all museums, but this one was so interesting. Of course I especially loved the pirate section :-). This story of a pirate that made Southport his home base was really interesting.
Then it was off to visit the old city cemetery – Southport was originally called Smithville after Benjamin Smith, who was from there and who became governor. I could’ve spent a much longer time there, but the bugs were starting to come out, so we cut our visit a little short. Next time!
We finished up the visit with supper on the patio at Provisions, the oldest seafood restaurant in Southport. The food was great, and the view even better. Loved it!
