What to Expect

Cape Fear Legends & Lore: OCTOBER 10
Get to know the Cape Fear’s most enduring legends with this special cruise charting the stories that don’t always get told. From the tunnels underneath the city to the colonial imposter who tempted fate by claiming to be royal, this cruise will traverse the last 250 years of local history to get at the heart of what’s fact and what’s fiction. Were rum runners captured on the river during Prohibition? Did Cornwallis occupy a downtown house and let his soldiers crash on the property while keeping Patriot prisoners in the basement? We will answer those and more!

Hunter Ingram, historian at Burgwin-Wright House, will share these stories and more.
