Cape Lookout and the Shackleford Banks in North Carolina were the sites of the largest shore-based whaling stations south of New York. Between Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks was the settlement of Diamond City, the largest town in the area with a permanent population of around 500. The entire area was decimated by a hurricane in 1899, which led to the Shackleford Banks being abandoned. The story of Porpoise Sal is part of local folklore to explain events that preluded the hurricane. In the 19th century, a mysterious woman washed ashore on Diamond City, North Carolina. Whales fueled the economy of 19th Century America, and Diamond City was the most prominent whaling community in the Southern United States. During this time, whales were hunted to the brink of extinction. When fishermen discovered the strange woman, the only words she spoke was "The killing must stop." After she had been there for several weeks, people began to notice that every morning she could be seen swimming out in the waters. But she was never swimming alone. As soon as she waded into the water, a pod of dolphins would appear seemingly from nowhere and surround her. As spring whaling season approached, the woman became more troubled and kept repeating, "the killing must stop." Eventually, people began to assume she was talking about the whales. One day the woman told a fisherman, "You were warned" and then disappeared. Soon, a hurricane decimated the small town, leaving it completely destroyed. Today, nothing remains of Diamond City. --> See full article
