The original group that volunteered to manage the 1993 wooden boat exhibit is the same group that captains the Georgetown Wooden Boat Show today.

Before 1993, a county-supported festival called Bayfest existed to celebrate the maritime heritage of Georgetown County.

The head of the event resigned, and a small group of business people volunteered to take charge of the wooden boat portion.

The motivation was basic: Improve business in downtown Georgetown. Effort was put into attracting wooden boat builders and related exhibitors. The show was kept downtown, surrounded by the Front Street businesses.

The 1993 show featured 35 exhibitors, doubling the previous Bayfest, and from then on, it was off to the races for the newly named Georgetown Wooden Boat Show (and for Georgetown businesses).

In 1994, the Harbor Historical Association (HHA) was formed as the umbrella organization for the WBS and related events. Its stated mission is to “preserve and promote the maritime history of Georgetown and South Carolina.”

Through committed volunteer management and the support of local businesses, government, and the community, the Wooden Boat Show has become Georgetown’s premier event. Many Front Street merchants experience their best sales day of the year on boat show day.

Since being incorporated in 1994, the Harbor Historical Association has raised over $525,000 from this event. With financial success, a larger vision emerged. First was the Georgetown Maritime Museum (2004) initially located at the Georgetown County Chamber Visitors Center, which displayed five historic vessel models. Next, the purchase of the current waterfront space in the center of downtown Georgetown. Following a $200,000 renovation, the SC Maritime Museum opened its doors in December 2011.

The original group that volunteered to manage the 1993 wooden boat exhibit is the same group that captains the GWBS today and directs the Museum efforts. Their energy and dedication are noteworthy.
