In 1923, the large stern-wheeler passenger boat,
the A. P. Hurt, sank in Wilmington after 60 years
of faithful service. Read more about the history of

The Florida
One of the most beautiful pleasure yachts ever
to run on the Cape Fear River was the Florida,
which was owned by the late Oscar P. Breece.
Fayetteville citizens delighted in looking at
this lovely yacht as they crossed the Cape Fear
River Bridge which was only a few feet from
the popular Breece's Landing and Banquet
Hall during the 1940s and 1950s. During this
era, the Florida was the scene of many gala
entertainments for visiting dignitaries and local
citizens. e Florida was 100 feet long. A World
War II submarine chaser that can still be seen
from the Person Street Bridge was used as a dock
for the Florida. e remains of this submarine
can be seen when the water in the river is low.
Tugboat on the river
e Damyank, a popular tugboat on the Cape
Fear River, seemed to have been named in honor
of someone from one of our northern states. is
boat was oen seen and photographed as it ran
up and down the river near the Person Street
bridge during the 1950s.
