South Carolina's first black shrimp boat captain dies
Image by Flickr user johnolillyImage by 20081006shrimpboat.jpg Shrimp boats are a classic part of Lowcountry lore.
On September 27 the first black South Carolinian to own (and the first to captain) a shrimp boat died at the age of 100.
Charlie Wilson, of Port Royal, had accomplished the feat in 1929.
