With a controlling channel depth of only about 3.4 m, Edenton at the head of Albemarle Sound has limited commercial freight relevance and serves mainly recreational and local traffic. Once North Carolina's first colonial capital and an active trading port — two 18th-century customs houses still stand — it no longer handles container, breakbulk or commercial customs clearance. Cargo bound for the region routes through the deepwater ports of Morehead City or Wilmington, or the Norfolk hub in Virginia.
