The McClellanville Fleet features shrimp trawlers and their captains currently working from the McClellanville waterfront. It also includes historic images of earlier boats and captains and of the crews and dock workers who helped build the industry. The McClellanville Arts Council produced this exhibit in collaboration with the McClellanville Watermen’s Association and the McClellanville Community Foundation. It is part of an ongoing effort to preserve, record, and protect the working waterfront.

Photographer Simon Hare worked with the Watermen’s Association to photograph the current boats and their captains. The Village Museum provided historic images of shrimp trawlers, captains, crews, and the working waterfront. Photographers Vennie Deas Moore and Bernadette Humphrey shared images from the 1990s and 2000s. Graphic artist Brittany Priester designed the posters. Thanks to the McClellanville Community Foundation for sponsoring this project, and to the McClellanville Watermen’s Association for selecting MAC to document the working waterfront.

**The show will run through January 8, 2022 with the closing reception on Saturday, from 11 to 3 pm with light refreshments provided.

Gallery Hours are Wednesdays through Saturdays, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Free & open to the public.
