From a trip several years back...

Thank you so much for sharing! Fort Pulaski (and Savannah) is high on my list of Civil War places I'd like to go to.

Superb Photography!! Some of the best shots I've seen. Been toying with the idea of a diorama based on this fort and area, now I have some excellent reference points. Thank you for sharing

My wife and I visited Fort Pulaski last month. I highly recommend a visit to this NPS site.

* Federal cannon site on Tybee Island.

* Pulaski Monument in downtown Savannah.

A well preserved fort. I was there in 2019.

I imagine you could also use Google maps as there are over 30,000 photos posted there, although not all of the fort itself. The overhead satellite view is fairly decent.

My old unit use to garrison the fort once a year.

Thanks for posting the photos. My family has a number of letters written by Samuel Bliss when he was with the 7th Connecticut infantry and involved in the bombardment of the fort. It is great to see how the fort looks today.

Visited the fort almost a decade ago. It was well worth it.

I've never been to Ft. Clinch in FL. Which is odd because I'm from there.

I have been to Ft. Pulaski. It's worth that extra few mines out of town. The flats out there and lack build up as on another island fort up the coast. It seems to be in its place. Not locked in time but the history is there.

One of my favorite places I've been that was fortified.

I have been to both Fort Clinch and Fort Pulaski. I enjoyed both and each is worth visiting.

 

[Yankeedave]

At Ft. Clinch we would do a weekend a month. Everyone would get together. The kitchen, laundry, prison, barracks, workshop, quartermaster, medical. The whole fort came alive.
Hot as it could be during the summer but worth it in the winter.

 

[WScott]

Great photos. I hope to get there some day.

 

[Sheltowee]

Wonderful.
This is my personal favorite fort.

Probably 20 years since my last visit but it has always been my favorite also

It's one of the better preserved forts in my mind. There is a lot of history at Sumter but the large battery kinda threw me off.

I've heard great things about Clinch so on my next visit down home I'm going to go.

 

[Gus2015]

I agree the battery really detracts from the history.
