These were taken on a Photography field
trip to the Darien waterfront last fall.
You can find these type Ruins all up
and down the southeast coast.
Close up look at Tabby
Traditional tabby, used for construction primarily along the coast, is composed of equal parts lime, water, sand, oyster shells, and ash. First introduced in Georgia by James Oglethorpe in 1736, tabby experienced revivals in the first half of the nineteenth century and again from the 1880s to 1920s.

I've got GA on my mind! Can't wait to get down there! 13 days and counting.
That is interesting. I didn't know there were ruins of timber/mining towns around. We've found a few interesting mills and farms in the Smoky Mountain National Park but that's because the government forced people from their land in order to "claim" the park back in the 1920's.
Very interesting, nice photography.
Y'all be careful !!
Love,
Papa
