Description
During the evacuation of Charleston, the Confederates didn’t want their ammunition to get into enemy hands so they exploded tons of munitions here. One mishap involved a giant Blakely gun that exploded and sent a huge piece of shrapnel through the roof of the Thomas Roper House which remains lodged in the rafters today.
