Set consists of a piece of stone from the fort, a 2.00 x 1.00 inch fragment of a 6lb cannonball with the fuse recess visible and a large piece of the cannon traversing race. All are glued to a nicely finished piece of wood that meas. approx. 8.75 x 4.50 x 0.50 an inch.

Attached to the base is a brass plaque engraved with “A PIECE OF A BLAKELY CANON(sp) TRAVERSING RACE FROM FORT PULASKI, GEORGIA. 1829-1880.”

Fort Pulaski National Monument is located on Cockspur Island between Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia. At Fort Pulaski during the American Civil War, the Union Army successfully tested rifled cannon in combat in 1862, the success of which rendered brick fortifications obsolete. The fort was also used as a prisoner-of-war camp.   [ad] [ph:L]
