Sunday May 23, 2004. We are anchored in Cumberland Sound, GA. I wanted to visit this Island once again to enjoy its quiet beauty and share it with you in the pictures below. Carnegie's Dungeness was once the vibrant heart of social life, a semitropical meca, where Senators, statesmen and celebrities were guests at elabrate parties. After Lucy Carnegie's death in 1916 the house was used infrequently. Changing economic conditions such as the great depression and the demise of the industrial tycoons spelled the end of an age. Its history is an abandoned mansion, a fading snapshot. Just click on the arrows to view the pictures. |
