Joe Mendelsohn, Charleston: “On last week’s “Views from the water” photo essay: I remember climbing up that ladder with my friend, Crayton Walters, leading the way. The pilot boat pulled away and there was nothing, but ocean under me.”
Our friends at the Charleston Branch Pilots Association have a perspective on Charleston that’s different from most folks’. They see the Holy City from the water as much as they do from the land. Here are some photos taken through the years that highlight the area’s continuing and important connection to the maritime economy. Enjoy.
