Thurmond Hollings Seek 40 Foot Charleston Harbor Depth
Senators Strom Thurmond and Er nest Hollings introduced a bill to authorize 76.1 million dollars to deepen Charleston harbor to 40 feet from the current 35. The measure aims to allow safer passage as ships now draw up to 31 feet and to accommodate larger vessels that supply much of the world’s merchant marine capacity.
