Many years ago, I had my sailboat, Tyche, docked for a bit of time at a marina on Bear Creek, which was called, Bear Creek Marina. At that time, it was owned by a member of the Hardesty family. It was a working marina where people built boats. Now, the marina is called Sheltered Harbor.

Haven't been there in ages, so I cannot tell you much about the place, as it is now. Back around 1987, however, it was sold by the Hardesty family. Anyway... While Tyche & I were there, a fishing vessel named the Echo Sound was being built. She was steel and, if I remember correctly, about 65' LOA. Not sure how many tons, but she was built to work the Carolina banks. I didn't get any photos of her under construction, but I did take some the day she was launched. Please see the slideshow of her launching!
