On this day in 1895 the schooner Sallie Bissell of Charleston, South Carolina bound for New Bern stranded on a shoal 3 1/2 miles east of the U.S. Life-Saving Station Portsmouth. Since this was a newly finished station and a regular crew had not been appointed yet, the head keeper of the station, Ferdinand G. Terrell, employed the help of volunteers to rescue the 5 sailors of the Bissell.
