Rusty Fleetwood is recognized as a leading authority on the maritime history and culture of the American Southeast. His book Tidecraft: the Boats of South Carolina, Georgia and Northeastern Florida, 1550-1950, was the 1995 recipient of the prestigious John Lyman Book Award as the year’s best book in American maritime history and received an additional award from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in 1997. As a builder, Fleetwood has built full size re-constructions of many historic watercraft as well as more modern types, in wood, composites and fiberglass. The most recent deliveries were two, 65' electric-powered, U.S.C.G. inspected, 49-passenger tour boats for the Augusta Canal Authority.
