Description
The Lady Eva, a shrimping boat in the Shem Creek harbor, is heading out. Sadly, only two months after this image was captured, The Lady Eva took on water and sank in the Shem Creek Harbor. After the Lady Eva sank at a Shem Creek dock in December, 2013, the community rallied in the wake of the latest shrimper tragedy, raising funds to help get a member of the revered Magwood family back in business.
Less than a month later, as the 70-foot shrimp boat was being towed to Savannah for repairs, the Lady Eva sank again off the Isle of Palms. The vessel had taken on water and broken two tow ropes, and had to be pulled out of the Charleston shipping channel and scuttled.
Image captured October, 2013, at Shem Creek, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
