The Confederate garrisons of Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg abandon their defense and slip away in the night

After months of sturdy resistance, the position of Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg on Morris Island in defense of Charleston Harbor had finally become untenable in the face of Union siege operations.  General Beauregard ordered a withdrawal and this was carried out with great skill and stealth during the hours of darkness before midnight.  Only seventy-five of the garrison were captured.  (By John Osborne)

In Charleston Harbor, Confederate Fort Moultrie suffers a massive magazine explosion under U.S. Navy gunfire

Fort Moultrie, defending Charleston Harbor from its position on Sullivan's Island, had been under serious bombardment for months.  A 15 inch shell from the U.S.S. Weehalken struck home in one of the fort's magazines and caused a massive explosion. The damage was severe but the fortress still held and was not abandoned until February 1865, by that time almost only rubble.  (By John Osborne)
