Tybee Island, Georgia
The fort would stay in the hands of the South until surrendered by Colonel Olmstead to the Federal troops on April 11, 1862 after a few days of bombardment from the big and plentiful Union mortars and rifled canon entrenched on Tybee Island less than a mile southeast of its mote abutted, masonry walls.
After witnessing the physical history of Tybee Island, one would be remise in not visiting the relatively calm waters of the Atlantic shore of this famed island. I leave you with a few pictures of this natural splendor, and until we have the opportunity to discuss other locales on your or my travel horizons, I bid that you enjoy safe and happy travels.
