Be sure to sign up for the NC COPS Blue Blood Drive on January 26th at Jennette's Pier and donate in the memory of Sgt. Earl Murray who sadly died in the line of duty on May 15, 2009. Kim Murray, Earl's widow, is spearheading the event, so please get out out there and show your support! Earl was a well-loved and respected member of our community, in addition to being a fair and helpful police sergeant.

U-85 was the first U-boat to be sunk in the North American coast off Cape Hatteras on April 14, 1942, after the start of Operation Drumbeat (Paukenschlag) on January 13, 1942. U-85 was sunk by gunfire from the destroyer USS Roper. All hands (46) died.

The wreck is located approximately 18 miles east of Nags Head. The depth is about 100 feet. This is an advanced dive as currents can be very strong in the area.

The wreck is a German war grave and should be respected as such. Courtesy of uboat.net. Image courtesy of Jim Bunch. Text courtesy of the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum.
