New in the collection: White Lake pennant

Pennant that reads "White Lake, North Carolina," and includes images of water, Spanish moss, a boat, and a Ferris wheel.
Of uncommon origin (Japan) and material (rayon) is this showy souvenir from the Nation’s Safest Beach.

Cruising beneath the Spanish moss is the Lilly III, last of the lake’s fondly-remembered tour boats. It was decommissioned in 1995.
