About Sullivans Island, SC

The island was known as O'Sullivan's Island, [ clarification needed ] named for Captain Florence O'Sullivan, who was stationed here as a lookout in the late 17th century. O'Sullivan was captain of one of the ships in the first fleet to establish English and Irish settlement at Charleston. In 1671, he became surveyor general. He appears in the earliest record of Irish immigration to the Carolinas, mentioned as being taken on "at Kingsayle ( Kinsale) in Ireland". Sullivan's Island was used as a quarantine station for African captives, who were housed in various "pest houses" on the island and checked for communicable diseases before they were transported to Charleston for sale at public auction.
