This is a shipwreck only visable at low tide, just off of Oregon Inlet Point on Cape Hatteras, at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The ship, "Lois Joyce", a shrimp trawler, was out of Wanchese, on Roanoke Island. The ship was wrecked by a Northeaster storm in 1983. This area is called, "the Graveyard of Lost Ships", because of the terrible storms, rip tides, and strong currents. Many ships over the centuries have been wrecked in this area. At high tide you can only see the topmost part of the mast above water.

The Bible verse title on this piece is:

"But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves."

- Acts 27: 41
