2010-2011: Inside one of the last fresh seafood markets of Savannah, Georgia, before it closed in approximately 2012. Charlie Teeple ran his business off Victory Drive on Thunderbolt Island for almost 50 years, supporting the last of coastal Georgia’s fishing communities. In the 1970’s, when Thunderbolt was called the wild shrimping capital of Georgia, up to 50 trawlers competed for dock space along the bluff. By the early 2000’s, less than a handful of trawlers remained above the water, struggling to compete with the prices of cheap, farm-raised imports and rising fuel costs. Teeple’s is the first chapter in my endeavors to document and preserve our vanishing fishing communities.
