The “Lewis Brother’s Camp”

Sitting alongside the Morton Davis camp, SEAGIRT. the Lewis’ shared the peir and dock until the dock was moved further southwest.

Described by many as a simple camp, there was a stove, sink, bunks, table and a couple chairs Externally, the camp resembled a “net house” positioned on the pier.

Camp #14 on Johnson’s Bay of Shackleford Banks (1970s) was documented as owned by Delmas Lewis of Bettie, N.C. and Billy Davis of Bettie, NC- per NPS survey. (I have no documentation that this was the same individual ).

James Delmas Lewis (in 193) lived in Marshallberg based on letterhead address used by NPS.

Dec. 22, 1976
