Port of Southport

I visited Southport once before, six years ago, when I met a wonderful gentleman who showed off his 1938 restored fishing boat Solomon T, here.

This time a small dredge operation was going on near shore, involving P&L’s Hercules.  Also

there was Sea Oak (whose fleet mates have some great names here)  and

 

Candice L.  Thanks to SM.

Also, working on the project was crew boat Captain Tom.

 

I plan to get back to Southport in late spring.

Part of my interest here is explained by this book:  Masters of the Shoals.
