Cooper River Underwater Heritage Trail
Strawberry Ferry Landing
SCIAA - Site 2
Strawberry Ferry was established in 1705 on the western branch of the Cooper River. It was associated with the settlement of Childsbury. Like other colonial frontier towns, Childsbury's strategic location on the inland water route was vitally important to the region's transportation infrastructure and economy. The Ferry Landing brick rubble extends 20 yards out from the riverbank about 50 feet from the shipwreck. At low tide floor support rubble with stake and puncheon side support boards are visible. The beams have cut-outs for cross members The brick floor is mixed with rubble and sand.
