1825 Charleston Harbour Map
In 1825, Charleston Harbour was the busiest deepwater port south of the Chesapeake, fed by the Ashley and Cooper rivers and shielded from the Atlantic by Sullivan’s Island and Morris Island. Fort Moultrie stood watch at the harbor mouth. Fort Sumter did not yet exist. This map captures the port and its adjacent coast in that earlier moment, before the Civil War rewrote every place name on the waterline.
