Additional Description: Little David Replica
This replica of the Little David was originally constructed as an historical exhibit in 1970 by students and staff at Trident Technical College in North Charleston in preparation for South Carolina's Tricentennial observance.
In 2004, members of the U.S. Submarine Veterans Inc. of Charleston completely refurbished the replica, restoring it to the specifications and details of the Little David's original construction in 1863. More than 5,000 man hours went into the effort. The organization maintains the exhibit and provides speakers to groups who visit the display to study its rich nautical history.
Funding for this restoration project came from proceeds of the Berkeley Museum's annual Antique Tractor & Engine Show.
