Shipwreck!
The Clythia was a Norwegian bark shipwrecked off the Outer Banks. On January 22, 1894, she ran aground while transporting a cargo of Italian marble. The Clythia or Marble Wreck, as she is more commonly known, was salvaged heavily. The wreck now sits in 20 feet of water. Portions of the wreck protrude above the surface at low tide.
