On Aug. 8,2009 the Urban Boatworks had its launch of the 3 skiffs built by the youth at the Camden Shipyard and Maritime Museum. The Courier-Post, a local newspaper, ran an article documenting the launch at Cooper River Yacht Club. There is also a gallery of photos, from which the above was taken.
Some in the community have made comments, via the Courier-Post website:
MikeD0844 said: Good to see a positive story come out of Camden. To those involved, keep up the good work.
Channel Goodness said: Wonderful piece! One can actually hear the life-lesson that these young men have learned in completing this project. After all, it's been said that "the only place that 'success' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary!" You don't have to know these boys to be proud of them!
Thank You to the Waterfront South Community, Urban Trekkers and volunteers and Camden Shipyard & Maritime Museum for your dedication and support.
