Maritime History: Life of a Sailor

A reproduction 17th-century trading vessel, Adventure II, is once-again docked at Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site. Come join us in May, board the ketch, and learn about all things Nautical. Visit with costumed interpreters to hear about the colonists’ stormy passage to Carolina, learn about the trade networks that helped to sustain the Carolina colony, and step into the shoes of a sailor as you try your hand at navigation and other sailing skills. Take a peek at our new wharf and shipbuilding exhibit.
