Exploratory Remote-Sensing Survey of the Folly-River-Stono Inlet, South Carolina, Improvement Project.

Abstract

The objective of the study was to perform an exploratory remote-sensing survey of the shoaled areas of the Folly River and Stono Inlet, South Carolina, an area covering approximately two miles. The survey was designed to locate, through the use of a proton precession magnetometer, any historically significant shipwreck material lying on or beneath this project area. The area of study included approximately 2.0 statute miles of the underwater areas in and adjacent to the Folly River and Stono Inlet, South Carolina, delineated as dark channel areas on the map included with this report. The minimum extent of the survey included the three shoaled areas shown on the map, plus the underwater area of at least 300 feet beyond the edge of each shoal.
