SECTOR NORTH CAROLINA
Station Oregon Inlet
Coast Guard Station
Oregon Inlet is located on the southwest point of the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Park on Bodie Island at Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. The closet
town is Nags Head, which is nine miles to the north. The station has a
compliment of 31 enlisted personnel with a Master Chief Boatswain Mate as
the Officer In Charge and a First Class Boatswain Mate as the Executive
Petty Officer. Station Oregon Inlet is currently located at it's fourth site
since it began as a Life-Saving Station in 1883. The present
facility was constructed in 1990 at a cost of $3.5 million. The station
contains unaccompanied personnel berthing for 10 members, berthing for seven
duty watchstanders, a galley, a communications center, and a recreation
room. The station is a subordinate unit of Coast Guard Group Cape Hatteras,
which is located in Buxton, 40 miles to the south on Hatteras Island.
As a Multi-mission unit, Station Oregon Inlet conducts search and rescue, boating
safety, law enforcement, and marine environment protection operations. There
is a boat crew available 24 hours a day that respond to more than 200 calls
for assistance annually. The treacherous waters and adverse conditions of
the Outer Banks often catch mariners by surprise. This coastal region is
known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" due to the numerous shipwrecks that
line the North Carolina seacoast.
