Charleston, SC View of ruined buildings through porch of the Circular Church (150 Meeting Street). Photographs of the Federal Navy, and seaborne expeditions against the Atlantic Coast of the Confederacy - specifically of Charleston, SC 1863-1865. General Gillmores success at Fort Pulaski earned him the conduct of a much more difficult undertaking: the reduction of the defenses of Charleston Harbor, with the aid of a squadron under Rear Adm. John A. Dahlgren. Operations began early in July 1863; by October hard work and heavy losses had reduced Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg (renamed Fort Putnam by the Federals) on Morris Island, and had silenced Fort Sumter. But no further progress was made until February 18, 1865, when Gen. William T. Shermans approach overland broght about the evacuation of Charleston. The photographers who came to record the flag-raising ceremony at Fort Sumter on April 14, 1865, just 4 years after the surrender with which the Civil War opened, thoroughly documented the forts, Federal and Confederate, and the lovely old city, which fortunately had received only limited damage. Present-day addresses for the Charleton buildings are added when possible; the movement is in general inland from the Battery along Market Street, with excursions down side streets as they are reached, and left to the Arsenal at the then limits of town. Date 1865 April

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ruins of Charleston, South Carolina, as viewed from the porch of the Circular Church on 150 Meeting Street in 1865. The scene is a poignant reminder of the destructive impact of the American Civil War on this historic city. During the conflict, Charleston Harbor was a major strategic objective for the Federal Navy, which launched several expeditions against the Confederate defenses between 1863 and 1865. The reduction of Charleston Harbor began in earnest in July 1863, under the command of General Quincy Gillmore and Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren. The fall of Fort Pulaski in April 1862 paved the way for this more challenging undertaking. By October, the Federals had made significant progress, reducing Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg (renamed Fort Putnam) on Morris Island and silencing Fort Sumter. However, no further progress was made until February 1865, when General William T. Sherman's approach from the north led to the evacuation of Charleston. The photographers who documented the flag-raising ceremony at Fort Sumter on April 14, 1865, captured the forts, both Federal and Confederate, and the beautiful old city, which had fortunately sustained only limited damage. This photograph is part of a larger collection that documents the movement inland from the Battery along Market Street, with excursions down side streets as they were reached, and left to the Arsenal at the then limits of town. The present-day addresses for the Charleston buildings are added where possible. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the aftermath of a war that had torn the city apart, leaving behind a landscape of ruins and destruction.
