Description

George Penington Charleston Harbor print.  Each map graphically shows the ships around the harbor and their appropriate location on specified dates. George  has plotted the locations of wrecks such as the Blockade runner “Ruby” off Folly Beach.  The Housatonic and the Hunley are accurately charted according to records  and research that is available.

Using available Naval Records and History, reports, and documents George has been able to discern the locations of such ships as the Canandaigua, the probable course of The Hunley, and the location of various other blockading ships in relation to Hunley the night of February 17, 1864. I have kept the depth gages of the waters around Charleston and have included the locations of the first and second sinking of the Hunley. All the time and research in making this map has been extremely interesting and gives a great perspective of the battles in and around Charleston Harbor from 1861-1865.

The framed print is 18″ x 24″
