Oregon Inlet Coast Guard Station is a familiar sight for those who cross over the Bonner Bridge heading south to Hatteras Island, North Carolina. Built in 1898, battered by violent storms, it was decommissioned and moved south to a more secure location where it stands today, overlooking the inlet where Atlantic and the Croatan Sound collide, creating powerful currents and life threatening conditions for all at sea.
