American Civil War Fort: Ft. Pulaski on Cockspur Island – Savannah, GA

Ft Pulaski was a Union Civil War fort built on Cockspur Island in Savannah, Georgia. We had the opportunity to visit it in 2018. It was a foggy, cold, damp morning the day of our visit, and the bridge to the island was under construction.

This fort at one time held almost 600 Confederate officer POWs. They sectioned off part of the fort by adding bars to create a prison area for the POWs.
