Sullivan's Island: Turning Point of the Revolution

When you think of Sullivan’s Island, you picture sun, sand, and surf—but 250 years ago, it was a powder keg of history.

With a fort of sand and logs, they defied the world’s most powerful navy—and bought time that changed the course of history.

Behind the scenes, deep archival research—including the HMS Bristol’s logbook—brought this pivotal moment to life.
