Fort Sumter Visit- Five New Things Learned

 

Since moving to the Charleston area more than 30 years ago I have been to Fort Sumter- target of the first shots of the Civil war- maybe five times. It is always a fun place on a nice weather day to take out of town visitors. 

The ferry ride from Charleston’s Liberty Square is always very scenic. There is plenty to see in all directions. 

Summer Saturday in February!

A Saturday outing to Sullivan’s Island turned out to be a very fun day. Winter? Not this day, more like a summer day based on the warm weather and busy beach activities seen in this photo. 

It has been a year now since the coronavirus crisis began worldwide. And what a long, stressful year it has been. You can tell in this photograph that people are so ready for things to get back to normal. 

There was plenty of activity on the water also. It was a perfect day for sailing and boating. 

More Shipping News

Today was another nice day at the beach! Station 17 at Sullivan's Island has become our go-to spot. It's never crowded and has great views of the channel to Charleston, which today was busy with ships and other vessels coming and going.

This container ship, only partially loaded, was heading out to sea. It is the Japanese ship Meishan Bridge.
