Fort Sumter is located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina* In 1960, Fort Moultrie and its related structures were added* Construction 230 and Battery Jasper were added to the Monument in 1967* These units are located on West Middle Street, Sullivan©s Island, one mile northeast of Fort Sumter. This concentration of interrelated structures portrays one of the finest examples of the evolution of coastal defense systems in America from 1776 to the present. Fort Moultrie today is the administrative headquarters for the Monument under the National Park Service. 1. Site of Fort Moultrie No. 1 (No. FOSU 1) Historic research indicates that this grassy sand-covered unexposed site is located to the south of and partially under the present Fort Moultrie. Hastily built because of an impending attack on Charleston by the British in 1776, this partially completed structure of palmetto logs and sand was the scene of one of the most decisive battles of the m American Revolution. On June 23, 1776, Colonel William Moultrie and m approximately 400 South Carolirdans repulsed nine British warships, keeping the Southern colonies free from British eontrol until 1780 when they returned and captured the fort* It was named Fort Moultrie to honor Colonel Moultrie and his victory. A storm wrecked the fort C in 17^3 and most of the remains were salvaged for building materials o or probably washed away* An archeological excavation will begin H shortly for possible remains of the fort because of its historical O importance. Besides being the first major naval engagement of the z Revolutionary War, the victory in 1776 also gave inspiration for the symbol of the South Carolina flag - a palmetto tree on a blue sea* The site of Fort Moultrie No. 1 also portrays the earliest phase of a continuous 200 year evolution of harbor fortifications in the Charleston area.

The second Fort Moultrie occupied almost the same site from 1794 - 1804 as war clouds in Europe posed numerous threats to America. The third Fort Moultrie, completed in 1811, played its most significant role during the Civil War* On December 26, 1860, Union Major Robert Anderson evacuated the fort to occupy the new Fort Sumter one mile southwest in Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter was built as a defensive counterpart to Fort Moultrie. With the question of peace or Civil War centered on Fort Sumter, the guns of Fort Moultrie helped drive Jfejor Anderson out of the fort during the opening battle of the War , April 12 -13> 1861, As the symbol of secession and Southern resistance, Fort Sumter was heavily damaged by Union rifled guns in 1863 -65, which signalled the end of obsolete masonry forts with many guns. However, Fort Moultrie was able to keep the lifeline of the Confederacy open until February, 1865. During rehabilitation of these forts in the 1870*s, larger guns were spaced farther apart, powder magazines were built underground and closer to the guns. As armament evolved to breech-loading, rapid-fire weapons, Batteries Jasper and Huger were built in the Spanish-American War era. These huge concrete structures could also withstand the more powerful naval armament. To protect minefields, smaller batteries such as Bingham, McCorkle, and Lord were developed. In World War II, the logical culmination in the evolution of harbor fortifications was the employment of electronic detection equipment of the Harbor Entrance Control Post with nearby defensive guns. Coastal fortifications, as such, have been replaced by roving missiles and electronic surveillance. Presently, the Navy uses Construction 230 as a base for its Shipboard Electronics Systems Evaluation Facility* The structures of Fort Sumter National Monument, whether large or small, have played a substantial role in safeguarding the Charleston area through nearly 200 years of history and seven wars.

When war with the British appeared imminent in 1794, work began quickly on a badly needed fort. It was constructed of brick, tabby,cement, sand and palmetto logs with dimensions of 250 1 x 125 1 . Finally completed in 1798, it saw little service because it was destroyed by a hurricane in 1804. The remains were mostly salvaged for the new fort that replaced it. An archeolog- ical exploration will probe for possible remains of the found ation and wells. Preservation of the site will continue as it was the location of a short-lived fort that served its purpose in the continuing evolution of coastal defenses at Charleston Harbor. *x Significance: 2nd Order /A Longitude: 79 51* 29lf Latitude: 32 45« 33" Acreage: 0.7 acres ^ £G/9Tro Preliminary cost estimate: ll ( malRtoftonoo of oftfe) Photo enclosed Fort Moultrie No. 3 (No. FCSU 3) Added to the Fort Sumter National Monument in 1960, Fort Moultrie was built between 1807 and 1811 as a result of British harrassment of American commerce.

  • Two Cannon Wreck” Project, 1986
    The “Two Cannon Wreck” Project, 1986 The “Two Cannon Wreck” Project Archaeology Underwater at Lewisfield Plantation, Berkeley County, SC By Carl Steen 1987 (Revised March 2018) 1987 (revised March 2018) 1 The “Two Cannon Wreck” Project, 1986 ABSTRACT In the fall of 1986 South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology personnel conducted test excavations at the Two Cannon Wreck site (38BK856). This site is located offshore from Lewisfield Plantation, on the West Branch of the Cooper River near Moncks Corner in Berkeley County, South Carolina. A reminiscence of an action that occurred at Lewisfield Plantation in the American Revolution on July 16, 1781, was published in the nineteenth century. Based on this account, three divers found a sunken vessel and recovered two cannons of Revolutionary War vintage. Pursuant to the mandates of The South Carolina Underwater Antiquities Act of 1982, a long-term archaeological recovery plan was undertaken, the first phase of which involved limited testing and extensive archival research. A total of nine five-foot-square excavation units were opened along one side of the keel that revealed about twenty feet of the vessel. This testing revealed a burned vessel of indeterminate length and approximately fourteen feet abeam. Artifacts recovered from the test units date from the entire period of the occupation of Lewisfield Plantation. However, artifacts directly associated with the vessel, including melted glass and military items, date to the period of the American Revolution, supporting the contention that this vessel was burned and sunk during the Revolution. Extensive research into primary and secondary documents on the American Revolution in South Carolina has revealed nothing to corroborate the published reminiscence, or to clearly document (or deny) this, or any, action at Lewisfield.

  • Spanish- American War Fortifications St Johns Bluff, Florida
    Spanish-American War Fortifications St. Johns Bluff, Florida by George E. Buker Professor Emeritus Jacksonville University Fort Caroline National Memorial Contract No PX 531090043 Buker In the decade after the Civil War the United States military services reverted to near pre-1861 size and returned to peacetime duties. For the Navy this meant showing the flag aboard sailing vessels built for extended cruising. For the Army it meant a return to border patrols and Indian pacification on the western frontier. Th e recently developed military technologies of steam power, high-powered rifled guns and armored protection were no longer needed. This period of military somnambulism continued until the 1880s before Congress determined to take action to modernize the Navy. But following on the discussions about the offensive potential of the new Navy came the realization that coastal defense was the other side of the nation's military modernization coin. In the 1820 s· the nation had embarked upon a coastal defense strategy based upon masonry fortifications, such as forts Pickens and Clinch in Florida, Fort Pulaski in Georgia and Fort Moultrie in South Carolina. The advance of weapons technology during the Civil War found the heavy, rifled guns turning masonry forts into rubble, and both sides resorted to piling earth around the brick walls to make the fort s impervious to enemy fire. But peace in 1865 brought a halt to military construction. In March , 1 885, President Grover Cleveland appointed Buker 2 his Secretary of War, William c. Endicott, to head a board to investigate and make recommendations for the nation's coastal defenses.

A GUIDE TO CHARLESTON AREA ARCHIVES, LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS “More than forty miles of shelves…” by Donald Macbeth, ca. 1906 Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Catalog http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2014650185/ 5th Edition 2015 CALM Directory 2015 The Charleston Archives, Libraries and Museums Council (CALM) was organized in 1985 with the goal to start cooperative disaster preparedness planning. David Moltke-Hansen (at that time Director of the South Carolina Historical Society) coordinated 22 local cultural organizations into a group that could provide mutual assistance after storms or other disasters. The organization helped foster communication, local efforts of recovery, sharing of resources and expertise. CALM helped agencies, organizations, and institutions write disaster plans; sponsored workshops; and in general, raised consciousness about preservation and disaster preparedness and recovery needs. The statewide Palmetto Archives, Libraries and Museums Council on Preservation (PALMCOP) was then formed in Columbia in 1986 based on the successful model of CALM. CALM now provides an opportunity for participants in the archives, library, museum and records communities to interact in a supportive environment for the exchange of ideas and information. In 2001, CALM members created the Guide to Charleston Area Archives, Libraries and Museums to assist librarians, archivists, curators, and records managers in knowing “who has what,” and also to assist local researchers and scholars in their educational and academic pursuits. It was updated in 2004, 2008, and 2011, however, significant staffing and other changes have occurred in the last four years and this 5th edition reflects those changes.

  • Name: Edhelper Battles - Fort Sumter
    Name: edHelper Battles - Fort Sumter Every war has a starting point. The event may not seem important by itself, but the timing can make it significant. The shots which began the American Civil War occurred in the Charleston, South Carolina harbor on April 12, 1861. When South Carolina first seceded from the Union, there was a question about the Union forts and weapons arsenal within her territory. A commission was sent to Washington, D.C. to work out answers to these and other questions. On December 9, 1860, an agreement had been reached. They would eventually be ceded to the state but for now would remain as they were in both condition and ownership. It seemed pretty straight forward. Fort Moultrie was accessible by land and was garrisoned. Fort Sumter, on an island in the middle of the harbor, was incomplete and ungarrisoned. Major Robert Anderson commanded Fort Moultrie. Born and raised in Kentucky and married to a Southern woman, he sympathized with the South, but he served and was loyal to the Union army. His orders were to maintain his current position. Fort Moultrie was not in the most favorable position. It was situated on low ground, while hills and buildings in the area were higher. Anderson and his officers saw troops being moved out of the harbor and were afraid they would be attacked. If riflemen were on the hilltops and buildings, they could pick off soldiers inside the fort without ever showing themselves. Anderson decided to take action on his own. On December 26, 1860, Anderson and his men took boats across the harbor and took over the unfinished fort during the dead of night.

  • Surviving American Seacoast Artillery Weapons February 2021
    232 American Seacoast Defenses Surviving American Seacoast Artillery Weapons February 2021 Compiled: Lists in various CDSG publications prepared by C.L. Kimbell (1985), R.D. Zink (1989), T.C. McGovern (1992 and 1996) and Tom Batha (2014-16). General Note: This is an attempt to list surviving weapons (or the same model/type) that were used by the American armed forces, either in the U.S. and overseas, in a coast defense role in the “modern era” (1890 to 1950). Items to be included in this list must retain at least the whole gun/mortar/howitzer. Sur- viving weapons from earlier periods, muzzleloading cannon (rifled and smoothbore), field artillery (except for 155mm), mobile anti-aircraft guns, and British, Canadian, or Mexican coast artillery are excluded from this list, even if used in North America. In a few cases, weapons have been included because they represent weapons similar to those used for coast defense, and are sufficiently interesting to warrant inclusion. Every effort has been made to make this list as accurate as possible, but it will probably contain a number of er- rors and omissions. Corrections and additions can be sent to Tom Batha ([email protected]), Mark Berhow ([email protected]) or Terry McGovern ([email protected]) The list is arranged by caliber (largest to smallest). The first line contains data about the weapon: the quantity at the site, the caliber of weapon (inches or millimeters), the model, serial number, place of manu- facture, and carriage information, if known. The next lines contain information on where the weapon was previously located as coast defense weapon.
