The location of the park, between Vendue Range to the north and Adger's Wharf to the south, had historically been a center of maritime traffic with several wharfs and shipping terminals. The area entered a long period of decline, capped in June 1955 by a fire at a steamship terminal at the site. By 1980, the site was an "overgrown area marred by charred pilings and gravel parking lots." [1] Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. began making plans for a park on the site soon after taking office in 1975. Acquisition of land began in 1979, and after more than a decade of planning, fund-raising and clearing environmental hurdles, the parks department and Ruscon Construction Co. broke ground in 1988. Work on the $13 million park progressed into 1989, and a target opening date was set for May 4, 1990. In September 1989, Hurricane Hugo struck, causing about $1 million of damage to the park. Nevertheless, the park opened on May 11, just one week past the prehurricane projection.[1] The park was designed by Stuart O. Dawson of Sasaki Associates with assistance from Edward Pinckney Associates and has received many design awards. The park is composed of distinct sections. At the northern entrance to the park at the foot of Vendue Range (a street in Charleston), a large fountain was built which anchors the end of the park. From the fountain, Vendue Wharf is a wide, wooden pier which extends into the Cooper River and offers sheltered swings. A floating dock is attached at the far end and provides unobscured views of the Ravenel Bridge, Charleston Harbor, Castle Pinckney, the U.S.S. Yorktown at Patriot's Point, and Fort Sumter. The pier extends into the river approximately the same length as the Tidewater Terminals, Inc. facility had, and its charred pilings from the 1955 fire are still visible. The largest portion of the park, between Vendue Range to the north and Exchange St. to the south, is itself made of two distinct sections. Running along Concord St. and Prioleau St. for approximately one-quarter mile is a dense canopy of oak trees and many benches. Parallel the shady urban park and immediately adjacent to the riverfront is an open lawn landscaped with palmetto trees. The 1,200 foot palmetto lined esplanade follows the natural water line ensuring public access to the water’s edge. In the middle of the grassy lawn is the Pineapple Fountain, a large fountain shaped like a pineapple located immediately in front of the City Gallery. At the southern end of the park, the formal esplanade follows the curve of the shore and turns back toward Concord St. At Exchange St., the park merges into restored salt marshes, creating valuable maritime habitat. Pedestrians can walk to the edge of the river at this point from Exchange St. to North Adger's Wharf. At the riverfront end of North Adger's Wharf, the 17th century Adger’s Wharf pier was rebuilt in the original footprint with the original granite which was fished out of the river and reused. The pier was reconstructed using log cribbing construction of native palmetto trees to last for many generations. The pier marks the southern edge of the park. #10 of 30 Things To Do in Isle Of Palms South Carolina Aquarium Charleston SC ~8.95 miles from Isle Of Palms city center Hotels Close to South Carolina Aquarium The South Carolina Aquarium, located in Charleston, South Carolina, opened in May 2000 on the historic Charleston Harbor.

Ten years later, St. Michael's held its first service. 1753 Commissary Garden resigned after 33 years of service to St. Philip's.

Three years later Cumberland Church burned. In May of 1838 St. Philip's moved into the nearly-finished church building, offering the Tabernacle to Cumberland Church in their emergency. This is the church in which we now worship. 1850 John C. Calhoun, noted statesman, was buried in the West Church yard.

They were replaced in 1976 by a group of church women who raised the money to install them in the steeple. 1861 A great fire swept from the Cooper to the Ashley River. Many members of the congregation were forced to leave their homes and seek refuge in other parts of the state. 1860-65 St. Philip's steeple was targeted for shelling by the invading Union Army.

The Sunday school building was rebuilt as the church's chapel. 1927 The Vestry approved the building of a new Parish House, provided that the construction costs would not exceed $25,000. Although bids for the work exceeded this figure, construction began and the cornerstone was laid. The Vestry acted as its own contractor. The actual cost of the building was $30,990.50. 1928 Bishop William Alexander Guerry was murdered in his office at St. Philip's Church Home by a distraught clergyman, who then took his own life.

Specifically, its mission is to celebrate and make more accessible for all South Carolinians the region's rich maritime heritage. The organization seeks to accomplish this through the creation of several central elements including a classic tall ship, an annual maritime festival, the annual Charleston Race Week, the bi-annual Charleston to Bermuda Race, and an ongoing educational outreach. Initially, the fundamental component of this endeavor was the construction of a classic tall ship christened The Spirit of South Carolina. This vessel serves as an icon for the organization, animating the historical nature of its work and providing a platform to carry out its youth oriented educational programs. The first educational sails with students began on October 1, 2007, and the season ended two months later on December 5, 2007. The Sea Spray Scouts day sail program serviced nine school districts from across the state of South Carolina, including more than 1,000 students. Unanimously, the teachers surveyed stated that the experience met their expectations.
