Exploratory Magnetic Survey of Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina, and Portions of the Main Creek Inner Channel.

Abstract

The objective of the study was to perform an exploratory magnetometer survey of the underwater areas of Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina, portions of the Main Creek Inner Channel, and auxiliary channels. The survey was designed to locate historically significant shipwreck materials located beneath the project areas. A proton precession magnetometer was used to gather data on submerged artifacts. Two historically documented vessels were reported lost at or in the inlet, but their exact locations could not be determined for historical documentation. These two vessels are the Golden Liner Rover and an unidentified blockade runner (Wright and Albright, 1977).
