The OLDEST USA made boat in EXISTENCE!

In this one, we continue our trip up the ICW, leaving Charleston and ending up in Georgetown, SC, and holy cow, we were treated to a historic gem. Georgetown was at one point in time the county seat of one of the wealthiest counties in the United States. Then their rice plantations faltered and the wealth migrated out. There is a fun little museum documenting the rise and fall of the rice trade. But, the pièce de résistance was the oldest American made ship in the world. In the top of the rice museum there are the remains of a 50-ft long ship build in the early 1700s that sunk in the nearby river and was raised in the 1990s. Incredible.
