Distant View of Fort Sumter, 1865.

    The wooden gun carriage was damaged by Confederate forces when they withdrew from Charleston. Until repaired, this renders the piece useless.
  • Steve Woolf said:
    On April 12, 1861, at 4:30 a.m., Fort Johnson's batteries opened fire on Fort Sumter, seen left of the howitzer, and continued firing for 34 straight hours, signaling the beginning of the American Civil War.

  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Yes, LWyman, this photo by George Barnard was taken around the same time. Most likely one of the chaps sitting or standing round the camera was photographer Samuel Cooley, who took a number of photographs of Fort Sumter after the battle.
