The Guns of Fort Pulaski
Fort Pulaski National Monument is located between Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia. It preserves Fort Pulaski, where in 1862 during the American Civil War the Union Army successfully tested a rifled cannon, the success of which rendered brick fortifications obsolete. The fort was also used as a prisoner-of-war camp. The National Monument includes most of Cockspur Island (containing the fort) and all of adjacent McQueens Island.
These are not happy places. This place saw destruction, suffering and defeat. Blood was spilled on these floorboards. It is all very distant to us now, 151 years ago. This was not a place you wanted to be with a war going on.

What a great set, Syd. Love all the details and the stories that these images express. Wonderfully done, my friend, I truly enjoyed this.
Thanks, Scott. I appreciate the kind words. Pulaski is a powerful place.

This is where they filmed the movie Abraham Lincoln v. Zombies.
I think the name of the movie was actually “The Conspirator”
