Description
Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, home of the USS YORKTOWN, and South Carolina’s most unique attraction. In the foreground you can see the sunken hull at low tide of the Army Quartermaster River Steamer Col. J. E. Sawyer was the first concrete passenger vessel made in America that was commissioned on Oct 18, 1919. In 1926, the Sawyer sank near Adger’s Wharf creating long-term problems for port authorities who dubbed her the “old sunken hull.” The Sawyer was raised on June 22, 1929, after weeks of frustrating yet amusing attempts. The old hull was towed to this site and remains an iconic fixture.
