Hilton Head Trolley Names

The Breeze’s two trolleys, “Comet” and “The Alligator,” both have names that reference the history of transportation on Hilton Head. Comet is named after a Marsh Tacky horse at the Coastal Discovery Museum, as these animals were the primary mode of getting around Hilton Head back in the island’s early days. The Alligator is a tribute to a freight boat of the same name that was used by Hilton Head native Charlie Simmons (a.k.a. “Mr. Transportation”) to ferry goods and people between the island and the mainland. One of his freight boats was named the Alligator and was used to ferry goods and people between Hilton Head, Savannah and other mainland areas. The third trolley is dedicated to the “Loggerhead” sea turtles that nest each year on the Island. In 2021 we dedicated our fourth trolley #1964 to “Harley” the late Clydesdale horse who was the unofficial greeter at Lawton Stables for many years.
