On the Move, Dawsonville Center for the Arts, December 2012
Where the Apalachicola River meets the Apalachicola Bay. Apalachicola was the third largest port on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico and even housed a French Embassy. The river was the road. In the mid 1800's Cotton warehouses lined Water Street and tenders hauled bales out to the schooners anchored outside St. George Island. When the cotton trade moved, Apalachicola went into decline but was re-energized with the lumber industry. That, too, declined when most virgin growth was cut, so the working waterfront is now seafood houses. The tug was on loan to BP after the oil spill in 2010. Luckily, no oil contaminated our shores.
