Some pics from Fort Moultrie which right across the bay from Fort Sumter. This fort was used during the Revolutionary War, Civil War & some of it was modernized for WWII. One fact that I thought was interesting was that this fort fought off 11 British warships & 1,500 troops for almost 2 years and was never taken.

Front entrance.....notice that most of the fort is actually built underground for protection from artillary/cannon balls.

main entrance hallway....which leads off to underground ammo depots




This place wasn't built for tall guys.....








The family at one of the bunker exits....

Of course Old Glory still waves at the top of the retired fort.....kinda made me a little emotional to think about how many men died here to protect our freedom from the Brits. I'm sure all the military guys here can relate.













Some of the more modern artillary facing the bay....
















Row of old cannons outside the main walls....

Fort Sumter across the bay.....where the Civil War began....










More cannons inside the wall.....
