Wilmington Under Enemy Occupation&nbsp;
For the final Wilmington Water Tours’ commemoration of the United State’s 250th anniversary, join Dr. Chris E. Fonvielle Jr., Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of History at UNC Wilmington, for a discussion about the “City By The Sea” under British occupation in 1781. Learn why British forces determined to capture the seaport and North Carolina’s leading revolutionaries, including William Hooper, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, who lived here. Major James Henry Craig would wage a reign of terror against American Patriots in southeastern North Carolina with Wilmington as his base of operations. Did you know that the famous General Charles Earl Cornwallis made Wilmington his headquarters and planned his ill-fated invasion that led to his defeat at Yorktown, Virginia in October that fateful year?
Whether you’re a lifelong history buff or just curious about the forces that shaped this region, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn while enjoying a relaxing, scenic cruise. Topics rotate monthly, so every trip offers a new perspective on Wilmington’s place in American history. &nbsp;The three cruises will be March 22, April 26, and May 24.

Wilmington Water Tours

Join us as we head up the Northeast Cape Fear River to the upper
reaches of the black water system of this storied river. An ideal way to spend
a Saturday morning relaxing while Captain Doug Springer shares his extensive knowledge
about the river, its history and the beautiful scenery. The Northeast Cape
Fear River is still largely unpopulated and looks much as it did when
Wilmington was colonized in the late 1600s. We will cruise through the
Castle Hayne Aquifer and by the bluffs of the Rose Hill Plantation.
Visit our full bar for a freshly brewed cup of coffee or for the
best Bloody Mary on the river. Photographers, birders and nature buffs
love the variety of wildlife and native plants that adorn the river banks. You
may possibly see osprey, alligators, sea turtles, even dolphin, just to name a
few. Bring your camera to capture the untouched beauty of this early morning
almost 2 hour adventure.
Get to know our river better on this specialty cruise which is
offered on the first Saturday of each month. This is a great adventure for
families and children. $30. Boarding 15 minutes prior.
