Swept Away
Hurricane Hugo slammed into the Charleston coast and washed this boat ashore, which rested in the marsh on the side of Folly Beach Road. This gift from the sea became a canvas to express memories of the heart and served as a message board for locals and visitors to celebrate events like graduations, birthdays, engagements, and weddings. Many painted messages on the boat, changing them daily and even hourly. After 28 years of changing messages, the boat became a beloved landmark.
In September 2017, Tropical Storm Irma hit Folly Beach and the nautical message boat was swept away. The heartbreaking event left an empty space with evidence of splattered paint on the ground, bushes, and trees. Many hope that the boat will return to its roadside location. Thousands are sad to witness another iconic symbol of the Old Folly Beach charm fading away. This illusive gift from the sea will never be forgotten, as it carries 28 years of love and memories.
