As early as 1585, European visitors noted Ocracoke's use as an Indian fort; in the early eighteenth century, it was a haven for Blackbeard and other pirates; and in World War II, German submarines sank Allied ships off its coast. Today, the island has less than seven hundred residents, most of whom depend on fishing and tourism to make a living. Because the island is accessible only by ferry, the people who live here are constantly reminded of their isolation. They are self-reliant and independent, but at the same time generous when community spirit is needed. Ann Sebrell Ehringhaus has captured the essence of this unique place in her 'Ocracoke Portrait'. From her hours of taped interviews, Ehringhaus selected the quotations that complement the sixty-four duotone photographs that she chose for her book. Through [this book], Ann Ehringhaus has given all of us the opportunity to share some of the beauty and magic of this special place.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52225105592608,"sku":"NEW0895870606","price":751.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71IjpdpuFCL.jpg?v=1787295694","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ocracoke-portrait-0895870606","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
