MYSTERY PHOTO: Not the Citadel

This building isn’t at the Citadel.  It’s not even in Charleston County, but it is in South Carolina.  Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com.  And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our previous Mystery Photo  

Last week’s mystery, “In the distance,” shows the huge, new cranes at the Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal in North Charleston.  The facility, the first container terminal to open since 2009, started unloading cargo March 30.   

“The Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal is an investment in the future of South Carolina that will spur economic development, create jobs, and further our state’s position as an international business destination for years to come,” Gov. Henry McMaster said earlier this month. “This project is a momentous achievement which highlights the strengths of Team South Carolina. I congratulate the South Carolina Ports Authority and everyone who has worked towards achieving this historic day.”

The terminal sits along the Cooper River in North Charleston, S.C., near Charleston Harbor. Its cranes can be seen throughout the region — the changed skyline serving as a reminder of Charleston’s success as a port city. The new terminal can efficiently work the biggest ships calling on East Coast ports. Phase One adds 700,000 TEUs of throughput capacity to the Port of Charleston. More info.

Congratulations to our eagle-eyed readers who correctly identified the cranes at the new terminal:  Nathan Henigan of West Ashley; Jay Altman of Columbia; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; and Margo Missino of Round O;
