THE LEMINGTON LIGHTHOUSE ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND WAS COMPLETED BY THE EARLY 1880S.
BY THE 1930S, THE CAMP AROUND THERE WAS CALLED CAMP MCDOUGALL.
IT WAS USED BY THE MARINE CORPS DURING WORLD WAR II.
THERE WERE BARRACKS, A HOSPITAL, AND EVEN A BOXING RING FOR ENTERTAINMENT.
LATER ON, THERE WERE ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS PLACED ON THE BEACHES OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND AND THE COAST GUARD MOUNTED PATROL PATROLLED THE BEACHES.
THERE WERE A LOT OF AMMUNITION SUPPLIES THERE ON THE ISLAND, SO THE MEN WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOOT THE RATTLESNAKES THAT ABOUNDED THE ISLAND.
ALL OF THAT AMMUNITION WAS VERY HEAVY
[00:05:01]
AND GETTING IT FROM THE DOCK DOWN TO CAMP MCDOUGALL CAUSE PROBLEMS. THE MARINES ARE CREDITED WITH PAVING OUR FIRST ROAD ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND TO MAKE IT EASIER TO GET THAT AMMUNITION DOWN TO THE CAMP.I'M NATALIE HEFTER FROM COASTAL DISCOVERY MUSEUM.
THIS HAS BEEN YOUR BEAUFORT COUNTY MOMENT.
