The Hampton Hall Car Club had an outing to Fort Pulaski today. Probably one of the windiest days of the year. But, it turned out to be a great event.
Fort Pulaski was built after the War of 1812 when US Congress realized that all the ports had no defenses. The highlight of the fort’s history is the taking of the facility by Union Troops during the Civil War. It was taken over by the Confederates after the secession. It was a very short battle. The 1812 fort design technology of the fort was no match to 1860’s cannon technology.
After the visit we all had a great lunch on nearby Tybee Island
