Visiting Fort Sumter (with Civil War Pictures of the Destruction)

I visited Fort Sumter National Historical Park (National Monument) in May 2021. This video is about the fort and the ferry ride to the fort. I was also able to find some great pictures of the fort (during the Civil War) at the Library of Congress, that show the destruction that the fort suffered in April of 1861.

Loved the old photos that gave a lot of history.

I visited about a year ago. I recall it was a very hot day but it was cool and comfortable in the harbor. My other recollection is the place seemed small. Pictures of the bombardment make the fort seem bigger. Thanks for posting the video.

I just went on Saturday. Could not agree more with the length of the tour. It should to quote Gilligan's Island be a "three hour tour". Great video presentation. I will go back someday to see more.

The National Park Service allows this private ferry line to gouge visitors as it's the only legal way to get to the fort. Their prices are going up again in 2025: Seniors and military - $35!

There's so many historic places in Charleston that you need at least a week to visit them. My favorite spot was Fort Moultrie because you're not constrained by a tour schedule like at Sumter.

Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island is well worth a visit too.

3:33 You can see the flag at half mast. This was the day that Hugh Hefner died.

Lincoln: Thanks!!!!, you gave to me the excuse i longed so dearly.

Stupidest thing the confederacy did was fire the first shot. Without that first shot the confederacy may eventually have been able to convince England and France to recognize it. At that point it’s all done and dusted.

That is some brick work smh wonder what year it was built I don’t Believe history and civil war history is falling apart the truth is coming out today

[fraudsarentfriends]

The Number of slave states was Important, not for slaves. But, votes in congress to hold off Lincoln's taxes. Why Lincoln didn't want anymore slave states. He wanted the money.

The name should be Sumpter, once again the history books got the name wronge

When I seen people wearing masks outside, I had to stop the video.
