Opis EN
Honoring Johnny W. Brown, 38 years old, had been a fisherman out of Murrells Inlet for over 20 years.

On April 2, 2005 the sea took Johnny.  A monument was placed here by family & friends.  Great views of the Inlet, marsh and water.  Restaurants abound.  Bike trail will take you all the way to BrookGreen gardens and Huntington State Park.

Lots of history about this Park and the restaurant next door.  Cache is easy to find...  but don't rush off, enjoy the vistas and food.

This small park is noted for the “Lost at Sea” memorial honoring Johnny W. Brown and others who have been lost at sea. For more information, visit http://www.lostatseamemorial.com/. A ramp here lets you launch boats onto the creeks. Additionally, you can get some great views of the marsh from here. The East Coast Greenway passes by here as well.

Needing a place to say there is the Murrells Inlet Sportmans Lodge and a whole lot of restaurants up and down the road to enjoy.

Johnny lost at sea:

Lost At Sea Memorial honoring Johnny W. Brown, 38 years old, had been a fisherman out of Murrells Inlet for over 20 years. He was deaf but most say he was one of the best fishermen around. On April 2, 2005 the sea took Johnny from us. He was fishing aboard the Tracie Lynn with Tony Bessent and Gary McCombs when a 30-40 foot wave hit the boat and destroyed it. Tony and Gary were rescued but sadly Johnny was never found. As a tribute to Johnny and others lost at sea, his family has joined forces with Murrells Inlet 2007 to build a memorial in Murrells Inlet. The family will host services each year to add names to the memorial for those lost at sea. You can meet the family at upcoming events in Murrells Inlet and also visit their website for more information. The monument has been placed at Morse Park Landing. It is located at the south end of Murrell’s Inlet on Highway 17 Business. The monument will be facing the jetties.

Next to the park stands a restaurant with a lot of history (or so they say):

The Hot and Hot Fish Club, also known as Hot and Hot Fish Club of All Saints Parish, was agentlemen's club in the 19th century in South Carolina dedicated to epicurean pursuits:gourmet foods, strong drinks and festive times. It started after the American Revolutionary War(early 19th century) and ended during theAmerican Civil War (1864–65).

Robert Francis Withers Allston, ex-governor of South Carolina in the 19th century, writes at the beginning of the Rules and History of the Hot and Hot Fish Club booklet that he recalls as a boy of fifteen in 1816 that he would visit his older married sister (Elizabeth) in Murrell's Inlet near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Her husband (John H. Tucker) was a sportsman that would hunt deer and fish in the nearby Waccamaw River. When Allston visited he always enjoyed "club day", which was Friday during the summer months. On that day he would fish with Mr. Tucker.

The members of the Fish Club then, as Allston remembers, were:

• Major Ward
• F. M. Weston • Ben Allston
• Robert Withers • Major W. A. Bull
• John H. Tucker and brother William • J. Barrington Thomas
• John Green

All these above were Allston's close friends. It was rumored that John Green could eat a peck of fish during this meal. He would put the fish into one side of his mouth and at the same time spit out the bones of the previous fish from the other side. The exaggerated rumor went on that all the while he woulddrink a quart of brandy!  He was known to say with asouthern accent:

Fish and rice
is very nice;
Pork and 'tater
Is much better.

Main Event
The main dinner consisted of beef, ham, local game and rice - besides the catch of the day! It was an elaborate potluck, where each member would catch enough to contribute to the dinner and for his boat hands.  Each member also was to bring some kind of side dish (i.e. bread, salad, pudding) for distribution among the other attending members. The fish caught for the day's event were bass,sheephead, hogfish and varieties of panfish. 
The main meal for the day's social event was served sometime after 1 in the afternoon. At that time the President of the social club would raise a flag that signaled the fishing boats to come in. When the boats arrived they would survey the fish caught, discuss the variety, and give a description of the catch to the gathered crowd. The prized catch was the hogfish of North Carolina and Virginia. 
Fish cleaning 
The boat hands that were elected to clean the fish had a procedure to follow. They were
“ ...to wash the fish in three waters, the last to be fresh. 

They would use these fish caught for meals at the Fish Club that day. After the cleaning of the first set of fish caught, the fishing boats were put back into the nearby stream and continued fishing. They would arrive back then later, one by one, to deliver whatever choice fish they caught meanwhile. They were in turn cleaned and prepared for the main event meal that was commencing. Often the best fish came in last and those that knew this saved their palates for these later fish in the second course that were "hot and hot."

Location 
In 1816 the "club-house" was located within fifty feet of the inlet waters on the north end of "Drunken Jack", a stunted tree island on Murrell's inlet at the southern area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The first club house was damaged during a storm, so was rebuilt on the mainland. Major Ward (member in 1816) had salt vats on a section of a "clam-bank" land area, where the second one was built. Once the new expanded club house opened up there were a set of new members added. At this time the future South Carolina governor, Robert Francis Withers Allston, had joined the club. John Walter Phillips was an honorary member.

• Dr. John D. Magill
• Dr. Edward T. Heriot
• Davison McDowell • General Joseph Waties Allston
• Joshua John Ward (son of Major Ward)
• John G. North • Capt. Thomas Petigru, U. S. N.
• Peter W. Fraser
• Robert Nesbit • T. Pinckney Alston
• Thomas Howe
• John Hayes Allston

A third "club-house" was at the residence of Dr. Post. The doctor later converted this area to a church. The Club was then set up in a temporary "wall tent" furnished by General J. W. Allston. Later a fourth permanent club house was built on the main land at the causeway owned by Dr. Hasell. Additional members then were Dr. William Magill, Dr. William A. Norris, and occasionally John Izard Middleton, Dr. Andrew, Dr. B.B. Smith, and John Ashe Alston. Several years later on September twenty-seventh 1822 this clubhouse was washed away. At this time a grant of about ten acres was given by Col. T. Pinckney, at "B. F. Dunkin's Midway plantation" (named because it was halfway between Horry county line and the tip of the peninsula).   It was near a convenient crossing place between Wachesaw and Fraser's Point. Here a comfortable two room clubhouse was built by the members as the fifth and final permanent structure. It had a fireplace with an excellent chimney. Also the clubhouse had an attached ten-pin bowling alley, a billiard table, and a race course.   The built-in kitchen was adequate to cook all the fish necessary for all the members on their yearly feasts. Joshua John Ward, son of Major Ward, donated a billiard table for entertainment. 

Members
It was in this fifth and last clubhouse that a set of Rules was developed by the members. The membership at that time was fifty dollars.  The roll of living members that signed and adhered to a written set of rules developed in 1845 are below. The purpose of the Club was stated as being for "convival and social intercourse."  The members that joined the Fish Club later after its founding in the early 19th century to the American Civil War were generally sons or relatives of the original members.
