Waterfront Park Darien, Georgia

Throughout the 19th Century sailing ships docked at wharves along this waterfront on either side of the present day US-17 bridge to load with plantation goods. Primarily rice and Sea Island cotton, lumber and naval stores. This activity made Darien one of the leading seaports on the southern coast. Port Activity was interrupted for several years when the waterfront was burned during the destruction of Darien by Union Forces in 1863.
