A different view of the peninsula of Charleston– across the marshes and river from James Island… all the way to the Ravenel (Cooper River) Bridge. The large white building on the right is the Fort Sumter House (formerly the Fort Sumter Hotel). In 1942 John F. Kennedy — then a young naval officer — was caught having a tryst in the hotel with a woman who is believed to have been a Nazi spy. He wa quickly shipped out of town and assigned to PT-109 in the Pacific.
