This page is dedicated to nautical history of Glynn and the surrounding counties [i.e. McIntosh, Camden, etc.]. Most of the information contained here will be shipping intelligence that was posted in the newspapers, i.e. names of vessels, arrivals, departures, passenger lists, etc. Some information has been submitted by researchers from their personal family and history files. Many of our ancestors came straight to Georgia from other countries, others may have worked or piloted a vessel in Glynn County. Here you will find listings of vessels and the times that they were located in Brunswick. If you have anything nautical that you would like to contribute, feel free to email me.
