Description
The Indigo in the Shem Creek harbor is heading out for some fishing and fun. The harbor is busy with activity as shrimping boats and other leisure and charter boats arrive and depart through the channel. Image captured at Shem Creek, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
In 1930, Captain C. Magwood was the first fisherman to bring ocean shrimp into Mount Pleasant. Seven years later, a bridge was built over the creek, and within two decades the first shrimp dock was constructed. In their heyday, seventy shrimp trawlers operated off the docks. By 2011, there were about ten trawlers remaining in the harbor along with a few charter boats. Like generations in the past, modern Mount Pleasant residents value Shem
Creek for its constant provision of abundant seafood, transportation, recreation, and
employment.
