Windows in a port that shipped North Carolina's first steamboat
Swansboro's first permanent settlement dates to around 1730, at the mouth of the White Oak River on a former Algonquian village site; the port incorporated in 1783 as "Swannsborough," named for longtime Assembly Speaker Samuel Swann. Its best-known builder, Captain Otway Burns, launched the Prometheus, North Carolina's first steamboat, from a shipbuilding industry that made the port a working waterfront for generations.
Nearly three centuries of window eras on one waterfront
A window project on one of Swansboro's older waterfront properties may be dealing with openings from any point across close to 300 years of construction since that 1730 settlement, so confirming the actual era and size before ordering matters more here than almost anywhere else in the area — and part of the historic waterfront carries its own review rules on top of standard wind-code requirements.

Checking historic-district rules before you order
Part of Swansboro's waterfront falls within a locally recognized historic district, which can restrict window style and materials on top of standard wind-code requirements. Confirm both before committing to a replacement plan.
