Geocache Description:

A quick grab and go with a little Brunswick, GA naval history to boot, matey. While you're in the area, check out a couple of other caches in the neighborhood.

The Port of Brunswick
Brunswick is on a peninsula bounded by the Brunswick River on the south and by the East River and Turtle River on the west.
The natural harbor formed by the convergence of these rivers was a prime factor in the colonial council's decision to place a town there. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Port of Brunswick became a major export site for cotton, naval stores, lumber, timber, and various other wood products. The Great Depression of the 1930s and the decline of cotton and naval stores production in Georgia virtually killed the port.
During both world wars Brunswick was the site of major shipbuilding efforts. The U.S. Maritime Commission designated it as one of sixteen sites for building cargo ships for World War II (1941-45). The J. A. Jones Construction Company built eighty-five Liberty ships in Brunswick by the end of the war. The navy blimps that patrolled the southern Atlantic coast for U-boats were based at Glynco Naval Air Station (Glynn County). After the war, the port began a comeback with the assistance of the newly created Georgia Ports Authority, and by 2000 it had become a major rival to its neighbors, Savannah and Jacksonville.
Today such Georgia forest products as wood pulp, plywood, and paper again constitute a large part of the cargo shipped via the Port of Brunswick. Other exports include agricultural products (oats, barley malt, and corn, for example) and other bulk cargoes, including gypsum, limestone, perlite, salt, sand, and cement. Imported automobiles, including cars made by Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen, and American automobile exports, constitute a large portion of the total cargo.
