The Damage of Fort Pulaski

You can still see the pockmarks on walls of Fort Pulaski from the Union bombardment. They aimed their cannon at this corner, and after 30 hours of bombardment and 5,000 shells fired, it was completely in ruins. This forced the Confederates surrender. It was later rebuilt, and you can see the different color of brick on this corner.
