IN MEMORIAM
CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH
Jana Marie F/V
On Thursday September 18, while fishing his nets out of Hatteras Inlet, Captain John Smith was involved in a very unfortunate and tragic accident. Our fishing community is in mourning.
In an effort to begin raising funds for the family, our organization placed two"donation stations" at this past Saturday’s Hatteras Day at the Docks and the generosity of the event's guests yielded a generous amount. These contributions, along with a donation from the North Carolina Watermen Foundation Relief Fund will be delivered to the family this week. We hope you will come to the aid the family during these difficult times.
