"Darien Shrimp Boat Fleet" in black and white was photographed at Darien, Georgia in January 2018.
Darien is a historic town about fifty miles south of Savannah, Georgia making it about the midway point in Coastal Georgia. There is a town called Midway, Georgia also, however it is only about twenty-five miles south of Savannah, Georgia (about midway from Savannah to Darien).
Darien was once a large exporter of timber. So much so that they were one of the largest exporting ports on the east coast of the United States. However, due to poor management of this resource, they actually ran out of timber to export in the early 1900s. After the timber ran out, the town became an exporter of oysters and shrimp. Today, it is still primarily a historic shrimping town with a huge fleet of beautiful shrimp boats along the waterfront and some very good seafood restaurants if you like fresh Georgia wild shrimp.
"Darien Shrimp Boat Fleet" will make an awesome fine art piece if you like the Darien waterfront, Coastal Georgia, shrimp boats, or black and white photography. I like the reflections of the shrimp boats in the Darien River in the scene and the dramatic looking clouds which also reflect in the water.
