Frying Pan Shoals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frying Pan Shoals are a long, shifting area of shoals off the coast of Cape Fear in North Carolina, United States. The shoals have been a hazard to ships in the area since the beginning of European exploration of the area; the area is littered with shipwrecks. The southern edge of the shoals have been marked by a lightship (which is now a popular attraction in, oddly enough, New York), a light tower and a buoy. The area is also a great fishing destination, even more so due to the new reef created from the light tower.
Frying Pan Shoals is one of 15 light stations off the United States coastline.
