Images of Colonial Port Royal, South Carolina∗

Abstract: Early seafarers perceived the large, deep-water sound and numerous waterways of Port Royal, South Carolina, as advantages for the development of a port with an excellent transport network. Those who settled the land, however, perceived the large sound and waterways as obstacles which led to isolation, political fragmentation, and fears of military insecurity. The failure of colonial development at Port Royal appears related to the physical features which were praised by those who first described the area.

“…Even the same authors' papers remain disconnected, such as Hoyle's work on African ports (1967,1968).

Interestingly, there is a tendency for isolated papers to focus more on nongeographical sources than on port geography itself.…”
