Numerous items wash up on the Grand Strand’s more than 60 miles of beaches, many becoming buried beneath the sand. In Myrtle Beach, beachgoers who pitch their umbrellas and spread their blankets along parts of the shore might be surprised to know that they may be walking on top of two shipwrecks. The ships were briefly uncovered when two major hurricanes hit the South Carolina coast, only to be reburied after years of beach renourishment and time. Jack Thompson, who has spent 75 years chronicling Myrtle Beach’s history, was able to snap photos of both wrecks, capturing rare moments in time. Here’s what to know about the shipwrecks and where they are located. The Freeda A. Wyley After Hurricane Hazel made landfall in Myrtle Beach on Oct. 15, 1954, causing extensive damage and deaths, the storm uncovered the timbers of the barkentine Freeda A. Wyley at 43rd Avenue North. Thompson was able to photograph the remains of the 507-ton, three-masted ship. The ship had encountered a hurricane off the coast of Myrtle Beach in 1893 and burned to the waterline, leaving its wooden hull to drift onto the beach. “All the local guys went down there with hammers and saws

Proposed SC-22 extension raises fears for SC refuge, flooding. Should you be worried?

The South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project could already displace Horry County homeowners. But it also has raised concerns of critical wetland impacts and increased flood risk for residents who live downstream from the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge’s integrity and purpose could be impacted by the proposed highway, which is slated to run directly adjacent to the refuge’s boundary. Many local environmentalists are concerned with the opportunity for other development to sprawl and the impact it would leave on rural communities. “I can truly say that this is one of the most impactful development projects that that has ever been proposed along the North Coast, and it really could be devastating,” said Grace Gasper, executive director for Friends of Coastal South Carolina, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the mission of federally protected land. Horry County has applied for permits through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, to build a 28-mile highway extension connecting U.S. 501 northwest of Conway to Highway 17 in the Murrells Inlet area. The Corps has released three reasonable alternatives , all of which cross the Waccamaw River near the refuge’s property line. The Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge was founded in 1997
