Season of
Festivals
As the summer days become shorter and the air becomes more and more brisk it is that time of year again, summer’s transition into fall. Even though the time for taking a dip in the water is over there is still a lot to do. Fishing, crabbing and shrimping are at their best in the fall. Pecans come into season. Quiet walks on the beach are different without the summer crowds. The Waterfront Park takes on a different tone absent the summer heat and the bench swings along the waterfront provide a peaceful and relaxing view of the river.

You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give. - Winston Churchill
Make sure to visit the many festivals and bazaars that go on in our area this time of year. There are so many wonderful events in the fall that celebrate all that is wonderful about the Lowcountry. Check out our “Calendar of Events” to see what is going on each month. Autumn in the Lowcountry is filled with many wonderful things. Though we rarely see red and orange leaves, the Lowcountry does experience its own unique color changes, as the green marsh grass changes to a rich golden marsh savannah. Autumn brings many changes the leaves and the grass change color, the climate changes, the time changes. As children start school they move up a grade. They often grow and mature amazingly during the summer months. Those of us who have tired of the summer heat look forward to cooler weather only to once again hope for the warmth of summer.

Historically Speaking
By Gerhard Spieler
South Carolina shrimp are considered among the best in the world and are part of the foundation of lowcountry cooking. Thus said Walter Edgar’s 2006 South Carolina encyclopedia. Until the start of this century, lowcountry shrimping was mostly restricted to casting nets in inland creeks or dragging seines on local river bottoms. By 1912, the otter trawl by the Bureau of Fisheries enabled shrimp boats to operate off shore. Captain Charles Vecchio came to the town of Port Royal, from Florida, in May, 1928, with three shrimp boats. It did not take long for the crews to unload their catches at the wharf in Port Royal. Tables were set up, along with an ice crushing machine. Local labor used wooden barrels to pack shrimp with crushed ice and shipped by railroad to Northern markets. White shrimp, 26 to 30 per pound were sold for 8 to 10 cents to Northern seafood dealers. Since there was no local market, unsold shrimp were simply dumped overboard. Captain Vecchio’s activities were reguarded with suspicion at first by local residents, some of whom called the Sheriff, suspecting rum running activities. A local account stated that Captain Vecchio soon was joined by other Portuguese shrimpers, dredging Port Royal and St Helena Sounds for shrimp. A governmental study stated that, “Thanks perhaps to the seagoing traditions of Afro-American sea Islanders, black entrepreneurs have emerged in the shellfish industry, particularly South of the Broad River.” By 1934, South Carolina’s shrimp industry had reached large proportions and 129 trawlers were counted on it’s coast. In 1977, the heir of Captain Vecchio sold her claim to Whitehall public landing on Lady’s Island to Beaufort County.
September 27, 6:30pm – Last Call at the Oasis Film and lecture with experts on the topic of water conservation. A partnership with Waddell Mariculture Center and the Port Royal Sound Foundation. Developed, financed and executive produced by Participant Media, the company responsible for AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, FOOD, INC. AND WAITING FOR “SUPERMAN”, LAST CALL AT THE OASIS presents a powerful argument for why the global water crisis will be the central issue facing our world this century. Illuminating the vital role water plays in our lives, exposing the defects in the current system and depicting communities already struggling with its ill-effects, the film features activist Erin Brockovich and such distinguished experts as Peter Gleick, Alex Prud’homme, Jay Famiglietti and Robert Glennon.

Town of Port Royal The town takes pride in its unique natural environment and its accessibility to that environment through its network of walking trails, community beach, boardwalk, and observation tower. Since Columbus discovered America in 1492, seven flags have flown over what is now the Town of Port Royal.
Union Church The Union Church, also known as, “The Free Church� was the first church to be built in the historic town of Port Royal. The land was donated by David F. Appleton and in 1878 cost around $1000 to build. It is currently eligible for recognition in the National Register of Historic Places and is being renovated jointly by both the Town of Port Royal and the Historic Port Royal Foundation. These two groups plan to use the renovated building as a cultural and community center.
