Item Details

Description

A great Civil War relic, a 12-pound iron cannonball recovered from near Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. The 4.75 in. diameter ball is in dug condition and thus moderately oxidized yet still retains its whole shape. The ball was found in 1898 when restoration work was being carried out on the old fort, and a concrete addition called Battery Huger was being built. The fort featured multiple 12-pound howitzers around its ramparts that would have fired cannonballs such as this. Accompanied by a letter of provenance written by the great grandson of the foreman in charge of the restoration work.
