Hatteras Weather Bureau Station

Hatteras, NC

This bright historic weather station has an unexpected connection to the Titanic disaster. Operators here received early wireless information about the ship striking an iceberg in April 1912; the building later became a preserved National Park Service site and visitor facility.
