Topsail Beach, North Carolina: A Photo Journal
|
<<< In sports they call a "cup of coffee" a short time spent at a place.
They'd say "Oh he had a cup of coffee in Arizona before he was sent
back to the triple A Club." It's fitting that the first picture of Topsail
Beach is a cup of coffee, because Somebodyisfromhere.com wasn't
there very long.
Topsail Beach is the smallest of a three towns on Topsail Island. It's
website describes:
"Local folklore claims the name, Topsail (pronounced Tops’l),
originated during the 1700’s when pirate ships roamed the coastal
waters. Historians explain that marauding pirates hid their ships in the
channel behind the island and waited for passing merchant ships
loaded with goods. The pirates would pursue and attack the
merchants, claiming the cargoes as their own. Eventually the
merchants became aware of this infamous hiding place and began to
watch for the tops of the pirates' sails showing over the rolling dunes -
hence the name Topsail Island"
