Porch Programs - Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station

Monday – Live from the Set of Nights in Rodanthe. 2:00 p.m. Chicamacomico Site Operations Manager, Linda Molloy, had a role in this Warner Brothers movie opposite Richard Gere. Come hear her exciting story and ask her to autograph the book and DVD available in the Gift Shop. A most unique vacation souvenir.

Tuesday – America’s Forgotten Heroes: Amazing True Local Wreck & Rescue Stories. 2:00 p.m. Site Manager James Charlet gives a brief overview of the United States Life-Saving Service, predecessor to today’s Coast Guard, and highlights some of the unique and special things about the Chicamacomico site. Then he narrates in detail three dramatic and daring rescues that happened right here, culminating with the nearly unbelievable Mirlo rescue of 1918.

Wednesday – The REAL Taffy of Taffy of Torpedo Junction. 2:00 p.m. Taffy of Torpedo Junction was a fictional work first published by the University of North Carolina Press in 1957 and recently re-released. It tells the dramatic story of a 12 year old girl living on Hatteras Island and is set during World War Two. It was written by Nell Wise Wechter who previously had been a teacher at the only school on Hatteras Island. One of Mrs. Wechter students was the then 12 year old Carol Dillon. The Taffy character was based on her. Ms. Dillon is alive and well as the owner and operator of the Outer Banks Motel in Buxton, where the lighthouse is. As is often the case, the truth is better than the fiction. Come hear Carol tell about this incredible and little-known period in our history . And yes, the book is available for purchase and autographing.

Thursday – The Beach Apparatus Drill. 2:00 p.m. This popular re-enactment of the historic Breeches Buoy rescue is only performed in two places in the entire country; and Chicamacomico is proud that ours is the only one performed by active-duty U.S. Coast Guard personnel! A unique and interesting demonstration.

Friday – What REALLY Happened to the Lost Colony? 2:00 p.m. Once you know the basic true facts, it is no mystery at all! Scott Dawson will mesmerize you with his vast knowledge and stacato style. He is the author of a book on the subject and lectures widely. And why this topic at a life-saving station? Because in their day they were the social, cultural and educational centers of their villages. This is precisely the kind of topic a visitor would hear there. chicamacomico.net
