"C'était très émouvant", dit Yeomans. "C'était de retour au pays et de mon peuple."

. Coast watch. Marine resources; Oceanography; Coastal zone management; Coastal ecology. David Yeomans places a wreath on Shackleford Banks. Cape Lookout is in the background. "It was very emotional, " says Yeomans. "It was homecoming and about my people." Throughout the day, descendants also swap stories about whaler Billy Hancock and other Bankers. Hancock's great-great-grandson, Jonathan Willis, loves to tell a story about his ancestor's whale dream. During the last part of the season, a whale appeared near his great-great- grandfather's fishing camp. "They sent the crew to harpoon the whale, " says Willis. "That night, my great- great-grandfather had a dream that the whale washed ashore at Cape Lookout point, 10 miles from where he lived. He got up in the middle of the night and woke his crew. Then he took off to find the whale. By the time they got to the point, the whale had washed ashore." Fortunately, his crew had followed and saved the whale from floating away, adds Willis. After it was over, they came back to Diamond City for a big square dance. The whaling industry thrived in the 1850s on Shackleford Banks, known for its well-organized whaling camps. "It was shore-based whaling, " says Sea Grant researcher and East Carolina University anthropologist David Griffith. "It was never pelagic whaling like in Moby Dick, where they followed the whale around the world. At the end of the season, they moved on to mullet fishing and clamming, gigging flounder, crabbing and farming." Griffith says one fascinating characteristic of North Carolina whalers was naming the mammals. "Whales were named for their captors (Lee Whale, Tom Martin Whale), for the weather (Cold Sunday, a day so cold, it was said waterfowl froze in flight), or for unique circumstances surrounding their capture, " writes Griffith in his new book, The Estuary's Gift: An Atlantic Coastal Cultural Biography. "They were able to name
