Feb. 8, 2026

The Castle Pinckney Historical Preservation Society raised the flag of the Maritime Association of South Carolina (MASC) over Castle Pinckney on February 8 to recognize the association’s centennial anniversary, which is being celebrated this month.

The MASC, a nonprofit trade association based in North Charleston, serves as the voice of the state’s maritime commerce and logistics sector. For 100 years, the association has worked tirelessly to advocate for issues affecting the industry, and to advance, promote and protect the interests of South Carolina’s maritime community.
