Have you ever encountered a boat with lots of graffiti on Folly Road? How did it get here?. For years, visitors and residents pondered the origins of “the Folly Boat” positioned just before the bridge leading to the island. The “Folly Boat” arrived on Folly Road after Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Initially pushed ashore by the storm surge near the bridge, its owner kept it unclaimed for nearly three decades. In the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo, locals, and visitors turned the Boat into a canvas for messages and art, serving as a platform for birthday wishes, marriage proposals, and any other messages people wanted to share with the world. However, though temporary, these messages encountered challenges, with some painted over daily.
