Presentation and BBQ Buffett!
Time is marked in the lowcountry by major hurricanes. Climate’s historical impacts affected SC society and agriculture from yellow fever to the sinking of the success of the H.L. Hunley. USC professor and researcher Dr. Cary Mock, a climatologist, has studied 300 years of SC weather history. His sources have included the first ever known systematic observations from Charleston in 1738, Thomas Jefferson’s early 19th century records, antebellum plantation diaries, ship logbooks and the weather records taken at All Saints and the Summer Rectory on Pawleys by The Rev. Alexander Glennie. The program will include an informal BBQ buffet, BYOB, inside the Kimbel Lodge at Hobcaw Barony, followed by Dr. Mock’s powerpoint presentation. Reservations required, call 843.546.4623 or register online at www.hobcawbarony.org under Visit. When Hobcaw Barony's Lee Brockington first corresponded with this young professor and researcher, it was after reading an article in Charleston's Post and Courier. Dr. Mock was consulted about why the CSS Hunley and its target, the USS Housatonic sank so quickly. This researcher spent time with the weather records for February 17,1864 and will reveal his findings Thursday night. Lee Brockington has been fascinated with so much of what he talks about, pertinent to SC history and especially the SC coast. Come find out for yourself!
