Ghost Ship of the Outer Banks

Published: Sept. 9, 2024, 5 a.m.

On the morning of January 31, 1921, Surfman C.P. Brady of the U.S. Coast Guard\u2019s Cape Hatteras Station No. 183 stood watch over the treacherous waters of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic." His early morning shift, had been uneventful until the mist began to lift around 6:30. What appeared before him was chilling: a massive, five-masted schooner, sails still raised, had run aground on the Outer Diamond Shoals. Its name was the Carroll A. Deering. But if this sight wasn't strange enough, when the Coast Guard finally made their way out to the shipwrecked vessel, it was discovered that the crew was nowhere to be found-- a maritime mystery that remains unsolved to this day.\nJoin Brandon in Nashville for a LIVE storytelling event on October 17, 2024: Tickets are available now!\nThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
