Description
Travel with Storehouse Tours and local historian Lee Brockington and licensed Captain Paul on the canopied pontoon boat Imagine down the Waccamaw River, under the bridges, into Winyah Bay, and up the Sampit River to the Historic Port of Georgetown. Learn more about the ecology of the watershed as we discuss rivers and estuaries that are some of the most intriguing in the nation. Georgetown is the third oldest port city in SC and was an important colonial harbor, shipping "naval stores," beef, pork, indigo, and rice. While on board, our Revolutionary War and Civil War history is discussed as well as a focus on 20th century port activity which included the "world's largest lumber mill," International Paper, Liberty Steel Mill, fishing, and shrimping. A brief disembarkation includes the SC Maritime Museum on the Harborwalk. Have an early lunch or bring your bag lunch on board!
