Skyscrapers define the skyline of North Carolina city Charlote, the "Wall Street of the South", an urban center home also to an assortment of museums, a NASCAR speedway and an artificial whitewater river.
North Carolina's maritime history is the focus at the North Carolina Maritime Museum, a facility that preserves and interprets a slice of coastal life for the benefit of future generations. Museum exhibits range from things boat-related to pirates and include a selection of natural history displays that explore both the environment and the creatures that inhabit this stretch of Atlantic Ocean. Check with the museum for information on its long list of extracurricular activities on offer for interested guests. An additional museum branch is located in Southport.
