EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bombardment of Port Royal, S. C. c. 1861" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history during the Civil War. Created by Charles Parsons and published by Virtue & Co. , this print showcases the intense naval operations led by Flag Officer Samuel F. DuPont of the US Navy. The scene depicts federal warships unleashing their might upon Fort Beauregard on the left and Fort Walker on the right, enveloping them in billowing clouds of smoke. Troop transports can be seen standing by in the distance, ready to support any necessary ground operations. Amongst these powerful vessels are some notable names: Mohican, Susquehanna, Augusta, Wabash (Flagship), Unadilla, Pawnee, Bienville, Ottawa, Curlew and Seneca – all part of the formidable US Navy fleet engaged in this campaign. As we gaze at this historic image captured through an engraver's skillful handiwork by W. Ridgeway; we are transported to a time when America was torn apart by conflict. The bombardment depicted here serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers on both sides during one of our nation's darkest chapters. This print from Bridgeman Images not only captures a significant moment but also offers us insight into naval warfare strategies employed during that era. It stands as a testament to how art can preserve history for generations to come.
