Guns of Fort Moultrie Begin Modern Conservation
Conservationists fuse computer sensors and epoxy coatings to preserve ten Civil War era guns at Fort Moultrie on Sullivans Island. The project, a $900000 multi year effort by the National Park Service and Clemson University Restoration Institute, protects guns that fired on Fort Sumter in April 1861.
