A five-masted schooner built in 1919, the ''Carroll A. Deering'' was found hard aground and abandoned at Diamond Shoals, near [[Cape Hatteras]], [[North Carolina]] on January 31, 1921. Rumors and more at the time indicated the ''Deering'' was a victim of piracy, possibly connected with the illegal rum-running trade during [[Prohibition]], and possibly involving another ship, S.S. ''Hewitt'', which disappeared at roughly same time. Just hours after the Deering passed by the Cape Lookout lightship on January 29, an unknown steamer sailed nearby along the track of the ''Deering'' and ignored all signals from the lightship. It is speculated that the ''Hewitt'' may have been this mystery ship, and possibly involved in the ''Deering'' crew's disappearance. [http://www.graveyardoftheatlantic.com/Deering/CADeeringHome.html]
