The Bronze Smoothbores of Charleston

Parrott Rifles of Forts Sumter and Moultrie
Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie near Charleston, South Carolina display fourteen Parrott Rifles. These cannon were manufactured during the Civil War for the United States Army and Navy. As the United States Army restored the fortifications of Charleston in the years following the Civil War, these cannons were mounted at the two forts. In the late 19th century they were intentionally buried - too obsolete and too corroded to worth removing.
Model 1845 42-Pounders at Fort Sumter
Fort Sumter displays two Model 1845 42-Pounder guns on casemate carriages on either side of the sallyport which visitors enter.
