· In 1885, the Johns Hopkins Univ. Chesapeake Zoological Lab was operating in Beaufort at what is known today as the Gibbs House, located on the corner of Front St. and Live Oak St.
· The lab, which was the first U.S. Marine Laboratory on the Atlantic Coast, later moved to Piver’s Island, where now Duke Marine Laboratory and the US Fisheries Dept. bring scientists and students from all over the world. Many of these people always have and do live in Beaufort.
