Description	Rock for the Georgetown jetties, which were started in 1892 and completed in 1902, were unloaded in Georgetown in the bend in the Sampit River near Atlantic Coast Lumber Company. The huge stones then were placed on barges and towed down Winyah Bay to North Island and South Island. The long jetties were built at a cost of $2.5 million, one of the major engineering projects in South Carolina at that time.
