Third Act: National Park Ranger, Shelby McAllister

National Park Ranger Shelby McAllister will present The Unseen Threat: German U-Boats in Charleston Waters

We received many glowing compliments about Shelby’s presentation last May on various lighthouses in our area. On October 27th, Shelby will return to tell us about German U-Boats in our Charleston Waters. She has done exhaustive research into the German U-boat archives including the cruise logs available for each mission. A visitor to Fort Moultrie Visitor Center today will find displays that says both U-751 and U-455 paid separate visits to Charleston Harbor in 1942, each laying several mines in our waters. Is that accurate? Were there more incursions? What else is there to the story? Come hear what Shelby can tell us about this unseen threat.

Join us for a covered dish luncheon at noon, bring a covered dish of your choice and chicken tenders will be provided. Please let us know you’re coming by making a reservation on Realm here.
