The epic background of Winyah Bay's solid wood boats stretches back again to 1526, when Spanish explorers sailed through the inlet and were greeted by Native Americans in dugout canoes. The British settled Georgetown and the bay's shores in 1736 to start a legacy of grain and indigo plantations, and Cutting edge Battle hero Marquis de Lafayette first got on American earth at Winyah Bay in 1777. From the finish of the Civil Battle until the start of World Battle II, a huge selection of wooden schooners loaded lumber in the Slot of Georgetown and braved storms off Cape Hatteras to deliver cargo to northern cities, as fishermen fished the waterways and the bay in solid wood dories, bateaux and skiffs. Local publisher and wooden boat fanatic Robert McAlister reveals the history of this bygone period, when majestic solid wood ships deftly traversed the glimmering waters of Winyah Bay.
