Fort Pulaski is an American Civil War fort that was first captured by the confederacy without a shot being fired. Early on in the war, the northern army decided to blockade all southern forts and deemed it necessary to capture this fort. This engagement was the first use of rifled artillery during the conflict and it lead to the fort being captured after 30 hours of bombardment. The colonel in charge of the fort surrendered after the wall was breeched and the union had a clear shot at his powder magazine.

Here you can see some of the repair work by the union as well as existing damage to the walls.
