[EXPIRED] Shrimp Boats Finally Removed from Jarvis Creek, AICW Statute 560, Calibogue Sound, Hilton Head, SC
Jarvis Creek and its anchorage opens on the eastern shores of northern Calibogue Sound, south of Jenkins Islands and east of flashing daybeacon #1.
In August of 2013, SSECN posted an article from The Island Packet of Hilton Head about two shrimp boats hopelessly grounded in Jarvis Creek (/?p=121417). Ironically, one shrimp boat was attempting to rescue a second shrimp boat grounded in the creek when the rescue vessel also grounded. Despite numerous immediate attempts to free the two vessels, now six months later, as we read in the article below from The Island Packet, sent to us by Captains Chuck and Susan Baier, both vessels are being dismantled and removed by crane and barge. A sad ending indeed.
