In conveying to people how wonderful Southport is, I think the best thing I can say is that it was a beautiful and special place to live in 1971 and the changes that have occurred throughout the years have served to protect and /or improve what was already an excellent and unique place to live, work and play.
I relocated from Horry County, SC ( which joins Brunswick County, NC ) to findsignificant differences in the culture and customs of the adjoining counties.
The picture above was made in a community in the Sunset Harbor area.
Southport had been a small fishing village for many, many years and was now adjusting to the hundreds of people who were here to build the power plant. The town wasgrowing and my small family was growing with it. The plant was completed and went online in 1976. Most of the people
who had come to work, many of whom had become our good friends, moved on to the next project.
We were a small fishing village again with a few residents who had discovered Southport as a perfect retirement destination and a few vacationers who came from the Oak Island towns of Long Beach, Yaupon Beach, and Caswell Beach to enjoy our restaurants and shops.
With another bridge to Oak Island planned for the near future, I am reminded of the event in 1971 that brought us the Oak Island Bridge that currently connects the island to the mainland. A barge hit the draw bridge rendering it inoperable. The news spread quickly. When my husband got home from work we jumped into the car and drove down to the waterway to see the damaged bridge. That was big news and a significant event. I think everyone in Southport went to stare in amazement at the ruined bridge and wonder how the residents of the island would manage. The population of the island was small but there were some permanent residents. All of their travel to and from the island was by boat for many months while the new bridge was being built.
The draw bridge was replaced with a high rise bridge that still serves us well. Of course, we look forward to another bridge as many additional folks now call the Oak Island area home.

A little about the Lockwood Folly River, fishing, cruising, and the Maiden Voyage ...
Time on the Lockwood Folly River and Bay is one of our favorite ways to spend an afternoon ... or a day. Fishing, clamming, and oystering as well as cruising and enjoying the weather and scenery are major components of " the good life "in coastal North Carolina.
We put our used, but new to us, jon boat in the water today. It didn't sink. We consider that a successful trip. We made an attempt at fishing, but holding seat cushions on our heads for protection from the rain was something of an impediment to the exercise of baiting hooks and casting.
Of course, there is usually more than one way to look at things. If we had caught fish while wearing seat cushions on our heads, we would have known without question that the seat cushion ritual was the very thing responsible for our success and therefore would be doomed to a life of fishing with seat cushioned heads and certain ridicule from the general fishing community.
Our favorite fish from the Lockwood Folly River and Bay are flounder, red drum, speckled trout, spots, and croakers. We also enjoy clams and oysters from these local waters. In fact, I remember well my introduction to Brunswick County oysters.
