  • lighthouse on Morris Island in South Carolina. The light stands on the southern side of the entrance to Charleston Harbor, north of the town of Folly Beach...The lighthouse is unusual in that it now stands several hundred feet offshore. When constructed in 1876 the light was approximately 1,200 feet (370 m) from the water's edge. However, the construction in 1889 of the jetties which protect the shipping lanes leading to Charleston Harbor altered ocean currents, resulting in the rapid erosion of Morris Island and the destruction of many structures and historical sites (such as Fort Wagner). By 1938 the shoreline had reached the lighthouse, forcing its automation as it was no longer safe or practical to keep it manned. In 1962 the Morris Island Light was decommissioned and replaced by the Sullivan Island Lighthouse on the north side of the harbor.The Charleston Light, located on Morris Island, at the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, SC, was one of the colonial lights turned over to the Federal Government under the terms of the act of August 7, 1789. The light was in a brick tower, built by the Colony of South Carolina in 1767.

  • Descendants of enslaved Africans brought to Charleston in the Middle Passage hold a prayer service during a remembrance ceremony at Fort Moutrie National Monument June 10, 2017 in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. The Middle Passage refers to the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were shipped to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade. An estimated 15% of the Africans died at sea and considerably more in the process of capturing and transporting.
