About the Lithograph:
Fun in the sun synonymous with Folly Beach, as destruction is synonymous with hurricanes.
On September 21, 1989 Hurricane Hugo slammed the Carolina coast, bringing high winds and rain. In the midst of the recovery efforts, an unexpected gift appeared in the march on Folly Road. A boat, now known as "The Boat" has provided an outlet for locals and tourists alike to express themselves by painting the boat and adding messages and designs such as happy birthday, congratulations, etc. Creativity and energy abound as cars loaded with people, paint rollers and paintbrushes in hand prepare to change the messages. This unlikely billboard has provided a source of entertainment for the last 18 years. "The Boat" has become an added attraction at Folly, symbolizing the creative, positive nature of the human spirit in the midst of recovery.
Folly Beach and the boat are known to be synonymous with fun in the sun and both continue to beckon sun lovers to frolic in the sand and surf of the Atlantic Ocean.
