“Sullivan’s Island—A more comfortable place could not be found,” said Lt. George Dixon. Dixon was the commanding officer of the H.L. Hunley, the Confederate submarine whose base of operations was at Breach Inlet in 1864. The crew that worked on the submarine was based in Mount Pleasant.

Her final novel, “Queen Bee,” published in May 2019, rose to No. 2 on the chart. Frank, who passed away on ..read more

Dunleavy’s Polar Bear Plunge informally started about 25 years ago and has grown into a legendary annual occa ..read more

The mounts were installed in what was called a sub-post ..read more
