Thank you, Allston! SCIWAY has traveled to McClellanville to met Mr. Hill and see the museum, and we LOVE hearing stories about the old boats that are so important to our coastal heritage. Please see our gallery of McClellanville photos here, and feel free to send along any others you might like to add!

My stepfather and uncle had the Aldebran built about the same time as your Cape Romain. There was also a Beletrix built in that time frame with all three working out of McClellanville. They were great sea boats and modern marvels when they came into the Jeremy Creek back then. The Aldebaran was the first shrimp boat I ran. We now have a museum here in McClellanville and a great watcher of our stories, a Mr. Bud Hill. He may be a good contact for you:

My husband and I have recently purchased a fishing trawler named the Cape Romain. She was built in Morehead City in 1956 and was a vessel in your area for years. We would love to know anything you may have about the area in the late 1950s.

Thank you so much,
