AN
EVENING ON BOARD THE USS YORKTOWN

Charleston from an entirely different perspective. You and your guest will be treated to
cocktails and heavy hors d' oeuvres on the hangar deck of the Yorktown, the famous
fighting lady of World War II. If you like, dress up as the aviators who so valiantly flew
from this famous ship's decks. Stroll through the hangar deck and take in the history of
this ship as you view the different Naval Aircraft and War Memorials throughout the

JAZZ ON THE CREEK AT BOONE
HALL
Journey across the Cooper River to historic Boone Hall Plantation which was used in the
filming of the television mini series, "North and South" and "Queen"
and for background filming in "Gone with the Wind". Upon arrival hostesses in
antebellum costume will take you on a tour of the lovely Georgian plantation house. On
your way to the Dock House you'll stroll past the slave quarters built from brick made on
the plantation in the 1800's. It was in these quarters and others throughout the south
that jazz had its origins. When you arrive at the Dock House you'll step into a jazz club
of days past. As the sun sets over Wampancheone Creek you can't help but lose yourself in
the soulful strains of this wonderful music. Here you will be treated to cocktails,
succulent seafood appetizers, and a delicious lowcountry buffet. Later in the evening kick
up your heals to some of those great rock and roll songs which had their origins in jazz
and blues. |
