Yes; and Flora Macdonald's garter-buckles are now in the museum at Raleigh.
A portrait of Captain James J.Waddell, C.S.N., who was a member of a famous North Carolina family, recalls the story of his post-bellum cruise, in command of the _Shenandoah_, when, not knowing that the War was over, he preyed for months on Federal commerce in the South Seas.
The museum of course contains many uniforms worn by distinguished soldiers of the Confederacy and many old flags, among them one said to be the original flag of the Confederacy.

This flag was designed by Orren R.Smith of Louisburg, North Carolina, and was made in that town.

The journals of the Confederate Congress show that countless designs for a flag were submitted, that the Committee on a Flag reported that all designs had been rejected and returned, the committee having adopted one of its own; nevertheless Mr.Smith's claim to have designed the flag finally adopted is so well supported that the Confederate Veterans, at their General Reunion held in Richmond in 1915, passed a resolution endorsing it.
Also in the museum is the shot-riddled smokestack of the Confederate ram _Albemarle_, which was built on the farm of Peter E.Smith, on Roanoke River, and is said to have been the first vessel ever launched sidewise.
The _Albemarle_, after a glorious career, was sunk by Lieutenant Cushing, U.S.N., in his famous exploit with a torpedo carried on a pole at the bow of a launch.

It will be remembered that the launch was sunk by the shock and that only Cushing and one member of his crew survived, swimming away under fire.
North Carolina also claims--and not without some justice--that the first English settlement on this continent was not that at Jamestown, but the one made by Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition, under Amadas and Barlowe, which landed at Roanoke Island, August 4, 1584, and remained there for some weeks.

The Jamestown Colony, say the North Carolinians, was merely the first to _stick_.
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, across the sound from Roanoke Island, is the site of the first flight of a man in an aeroplane, the Wright brothers having tried out their first crude plane there, among the Kill-Devil sand dunes.
