This walking tour led by Captain Bryan is not your average “sit there and shut up” tour where the guide won’t even remember your name. Rather, after  brief introduction, Captain Bryan will lead you on a historic journey of how Shem Creek came to prominence with its famous shrimping fleet and much more.

Unlike any other tour in the area, guests have the ability to see the industry at work. The first half of the tour will be devoted to intense historical accounts of the area going back to the Revolutionary War. The latter half of the tour will explore the complexities of the Shrimping Industry and include a visit to one of the last surviving commercial shrimp facilities on the creek.

This is not a tour, it is an experience to immerse yourself in a culture that is truly intrinsic to the area. Take back history, culture, language, and a local snack; but most of all guests will take from this experience an underlying appreciation for our local shrimpers and the history behind these hard working men and women. As Captain Bryan says, ” Live the Local Life” and this experience is the perfect opportunity to do so.
