They came by water.
Long before the present-day causeway was built, the only way to reach Jekyll Island was by boat. Large steam-powered vessels from the North such as the Mallory Steamship Line delivered Club staff and sundry personal items including carriages, horses and hounds. The Club owned steam vessels to transport the seasonal inhabitants to and from Jekyll Island.

The first of four Club steamers, the Howland (named for the Club's first president), navigated the waters of the Georgia Coast. Other members arrived on board their private yachts and kept them anchored in the creek during their stay at the Jekyll Island Club.

The Captain


Captain James Clark was a familiar figure at Jekyll wharf. As a year-round island resident, husband of head housekeeper Minnie Shuppmann and longtime employee, Captain Clark was tightly bound to Jekyll Island. For over 40 years, he escorted the wealthy and those who served them onto the dock at Jekyll.
