| A cargo ship passing the Cape Fear River |
A cargo ship passing the Cape Fear River. The area has a
rich maritime history with archaeology showing the practice was widespread from
the 1st millennium BC.
Ships have long been known to travel through the district
carrying everything from raw copper, glass, ivory, gold, spices, and treasures
from Canaan, Greece, Egypt, and Africa.
As with any industry, the desire for improvement saw the
technological advances which allow ships to travel over great distances and
across seasonal changes.
The transportation of such valuable commodities in
relatively unsecure containers led to the rise of piracy and although not in
these waters.
