Fort Pulaski Sunny Winter Day Visit #savannah

Fort Pulaski was built with walls thick enough that engineers at the time considered it essentially unbreakable, protecting the approach to Savannah with layers of brick and earthwork. During the Civil War, new rifled cannon technology proved that assumption wrong far faster than anyone expected, and the fort’s fall became a turning point in how military engineers thought about fortifications afterward. We walked the grounds on a bright, cold winter day, the empty parade ground and quiet ramparts making the history feel closer than usual.
