“I am honored to be named as a charter inductee to the South
Carolina Maritime Hall of Fame. The Lowcountry holds a special place
in my heart as I have spent many wonderful moments on the water – sailing,
fishing, and appreciating the beauty of this unique locale. I
am also excited to see the Spirit of South Carolina tall
ship taking shape, as I know it will be a great platform for
students across the state to explore their potential and gain
skills in leadership, confidence and teamwork.”
Mayor Joe Riley:
“I look forward with great anticipation to our state’s
young people being able to sail to other port cities around the
country and around the world aboard our own world-class sailing
ship. This project will reflect the pride, craftsmanship, resourcefulness,
and ingenuity of generations of South Carolinians, and deserves
the support of the citizens of the entire state.”
James B. Edwards:
“I am looking forward to the day when I can step aboard
the
Spirit of South Carolina—it will be a thrilling
moment… The
day the Spirit takes her place among all the other tall
ships will be a day of enormous pride for all the citizens of
South Carolina.”
