Explores the interwoven creole maritime legacy of Native Americans, Africans, enslaved and free African Americans, and Europeans who settled along the rivers and coastline near the colonial port city of Charleston. Lynn B. Harris describes how they crewed together as an ad hoc colonial navy guarding settlements on the Edisto, Kiawah, and Savannah Rivers, rowed and raced plantation log boats, fished for profits, and worked side by side as laborers in commercial shipyards.
