This month, 4 talented students from Baptist Hill High School wrapped up their apprenticeship at our Yonges Island Shipyard. This past semester, they’ve gained hands-on welding experience under the guidance of William Holmes, our retired shipyard supervisor with 25 years of expertise.

A huge congratulations to this year’s apprentices:

⚓ Johnquez Henderson, Senior

⚓ Derrick Gadsden, Senior

⚓ Christian Martinez, Junior

⚓ Alexander Nesbitt, Junior

Stevens Towing has partnered with local high schools throughout the Charleston area since 2017 to help shape the next generation of skilled tradespeople and maritime professionals. These dedicated students earn elective credits toward their high school diplomas while learning welding techniques and gaining valuable soft skills and career development through lessons on financial literacy, communication, and more.

We’re excited to see these students succeed in their careers and beyond!

We had a great time last week showing our appreciation for the amazing team here at Stevens Towing!

A big thank you to El Charrito Loco for the tasty tacos and The Ice Cream Team for the sweet treats. It’s always special when we get to pause, gather together, and celebrate the hardworking folks who keep things moving every day. We’re grateful for each of you!

Ross Miller is no stranger to the water, having grown up in Beaufort just down the river from our Yonges Island shipyard.

With over 15 years at Stevens Towing, he knows what keeps this work exciting and moving foward.

"We've been around over 100 years, so we've seen a lot and done a lot—and it keeps you coming back for more."

Stevens Towing participated in the Town of Meggett's roadside trash pickup project last week alongside Highway SC-165.

Two miles of road was cleaned up covering both sides of the bridge. We look forward to participating in the next trash pickup in the fall.
