Fort Sumter Beacon

The view from the High Battery in Charleston towards Fort Sumter on the evening of April 17th. On April 12th, the anniversary of the start of the war there were two lights… and they have now merged into one. The remaining one beacon is commemorating the 150th anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the country progressing at that time towards unification.
