Fort Moultrie
This fort has defended the Charleston harbor from 1776 to 1947. Starting with the Revolutionary War, through the Civil War and both World War 1 and 11! As technology changed, harbor defense became more complex, nuclear weapons and guided missles altered the entire concept of national defense. the Fort has been restored to highlight the major periods of its history.

Your pictures are amazing, kind of makes me wish I had listened a little more to my American History teacher in high school. BUT, never too late to learn something.
