Fort Sumter experienced one of the longest sieges in modern warfare. For almost 2 years, 46,000 shells, estimated at more than seven million pounds of metal, were fired at Fort Sumter
The walls of the Fort were 5 - 7 feet thick!!!!!!! After 2 years of constant bombardment they finally started to crumble - they were also 50 -55 feet HIGH!!!!!!
This is the inside of the Blind Tiger Pub we ate in after returning from the Fort
This is my date for dinner - my DW Melissa
