The first settlers sailed from England in August of 1669 aboard three small
vessels, the Carolina, the Port Royal, and the Albemarle. The vessels,
ranging from 200 to 300 tons, weighed anchor six years after Charles II had given
to eight of his loyal supporters “all that territory … called Carolina
scituate, lying, and being within our dominions of America, extending from the
north end of the island called Lucke Island, which lieth in the Southern
Virginia seas … and to the west as far as the South Seas and so southerly as far as
the River Mathias which borderth upon the coast of Florida …

”three ships carrying 92 settlers left England for Carolina. Storms delayed
the expedition and caused the loss of two ships. After stops in Barbados and
Bermuda, the ship Carolina finally reached the new land. After choosing a
spot on the south side of the Ashley River, the colonists quickly erected a
stockade for protection from Indians and Spaniards. Cabins were built within the
stockade, and 10-acre garden plots outside the stockade were assigned to
each household.
