Charleston, SC | Water History - Pirates & the Civil War
Visiting Charleston SC and its historical sites, a city that owes much of its history to water. From trading to slavery which ultimately led to the signing of the Articles of Confederation, Charleston owes its foundation to water.
I explore Rainbow Row, the Battery, point out Fort Sumter, and walk along the waterfront looking across at Patriots Point where the USS Yorktown is retired. I finish up back on Church Street showing you the inside of the French Huguenot Church, along with the Dock Street Theater as extras.

Modern Problems in Historic Cemeteries by Frances Ford
Modern Problems in Historic Cemeteries by Frances Ford
Charleston is a well loved historic city and in no small part due to its lovely churchyards which sit next to its numerous houses of worship. Known as the “Holy City,” over two dozen churches are located in the historic district of the peninsula and half of them have adjoining churchyards. Many are no longer active which has led in some part to their deterioration. Others, while active, try to balance the conservation of historic monuments with the addition of new burials and new markers. So as a conservator it has become increasingly surprising (and frightening) that it’s the newer monuments that are constantly requiring interventions to keep visitors safe.
Some level of deterioration is expected when a tablet or ledger is from Charleston’s colonial days. The earliest marker in the city still extant is most likely the Simons vault located in the Circular Churchyard, said to date to 1698-99. Many early eighteenth-century slate stones still exist in the Circular Church graveyard and in the churchyard of nearby Saint Philip’s. These stones are well documented to have come from New England since the low country of South Carolina had no resources for quarrying stone. The modern stone of choice in Charleston (as I would think is true all over the United States) is granite. Modern granite markers are evident in many Charleston colonial churchyards, including the French Huguenot Church and Saint Philip’s where internment is still allowed. In recent years it is increasingly these stones which are failing: tablets falling off of bases, large crosses wobbling and turning on a small pin, plaque markers and ledgers at grade sinking into the ground.
Are the construction techniques for modern monuments such that the safety of visitors to historic churchyards is at a greater risk? Is it the responsibility of the churches to dictate to modern monument installers a code of conduct? Is this a local issue or is it wide spread? Historic construction practice finds that markers of numerous pieces were cut or carved to fit together like puzzle pieces, each locking into the other; in the case of stone chest tombs or tablets cut with a tab to fit neatly into the opening in the base (die in socket). A die on a flat base would be connected with large iron pins and lime mortar. It is surprising that the manufacturers of today do not follow this historic example. Connection between multiple pieces can only be truly secure when pins are in place along with the adhesive. Sheer weight should not be used as a connecting mechanism.
This paper will look closely at the conservation issues now facing the historic church yards on the peninsula of Charleston, SC. Specifically looking at examples of modern monument failure, its causes and offering some solutions for the future.

CHARLESTON - USA Travel Guide | Around The World
Charleston is a seaport city in the state of South Carolina in the United States of America. Its historic downtown is on a peninsula formed by two rivers, Ashley and Cooper, flowing into the Atlantic, and protected from the open ocean by surrounding islands. Charleston was captured in the Civil War without much property damage, so the historic part of town has buildings that are hundreds of years old. The current downtown skyline, with practically no tall buildings due to the city's height restriction ordinance, is dominated by church steeples and the stunning Arthur Ravenel cable-stay bridge completed in 2005 over the Cooper River. The city is a major port on the eastern seaboard of the US and a popular destination for domestic and international tourists.
Charleston is served by Charleston International Airport (IATA: CHS), which is located about 12 miles northwest of historic downtown, and has a terminal with 2 concourses.. Taxis to downtown cost about $25; shuttles arranged by Airport Ground Transportation cost about $14/person to downtown. CARTA operates an express bus route 4 every hour nonstop from the airport to the downtown Visitors Center seven days a week, with a fare of $3. In addition, CARTA also operates local bus 11 to downtown hourly on weekdays. Rental cars are available at the airport terminal; Interstate 526 connects the airport with Interstate 26, which in turn terminates just north of historic downtown at U.S. 17.
Charleston is a city that is best explored by car or on foot. Several rental car services are available at the Charleston International Airport. Some area hotels also provide transportation to and from the airport.
A good place to start a tour of Charleston is the Visitor Reception and Transportation Center (tel: 1-800-774-0006), located at 375 Meeting St. (and Ann St.), not far from the terminus of I-26 northwest of downtown. At the Visitor Center, a traveller can find maps and guides, tour a small museum dedicated to the history of Charleston, book sightseeing tours, and view an introductory film to Charleston ($2).
Charleston is known as the Holy City because it provided religious tolerance to many who fled persecution, including the French Huguenots, Church of England dissenters, and others. The first places of worship organized in the late 17th and early 18th century were located around the old walled town, the present French Quarter . As the town grew outward, later places of worship were mainly located towards the upper wards north of Boundary Street, the present Calhoun St. Colonial Charleston was the wealthiest English town in America, which is reflected in the sophisticated religious architecture dotting the historic peninsula.
The Market and the shops lining Market street are a popular shopping destination for tourists. The Market itself is a large gathering of small vendors that sell everything from blankets to candy. Baskets and other sweetgrass crafts can also be bought at the Market. While the Market is full of the usual kitschy knick-knacks, if you look closely you will find some nice things. Gel candles filled with seashells make for a nice souvenir. Reptile and eel skin wallets are another nice item that you will have a hard time finding in other places. More traditional shops line Market street, and most of these sell merchandise that is aimed at tourists. There are a string of candy and confectionery shops along Market street where you can buy fudge, saltwater taffy and pralines.
Charleston is considered a great restaurant town in the Southeast U.S., especially for seafood.
Enjoy the 'complete' tourist experience, and a very long wait, at Hyman's Seafood on South Market Street. Locals prefer Bowen's Island, near Folly Beach, or The Wreck, in Mount Pleasant. For those not wishing to dine on defrosted cuisine. I recommend making reservations at Husk, FIG, The Atlantic Room on Kiawah Island, or explore one of the many other fantastic fine dining experiences this city has to offer.

Charleston is the second largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, surpassed only by the state capital of Columbia. Charleston is the county seat of the modern Charleston County.
In 1670, Charleston was originally named Charles Towne. It moved to its present location on Oyster Point in 1680 from a location on the west bank of the Ashley River known as Albemarle Point. Charleston adopted its present name in 1783. In 1690, Charleston was the fifth largest city in North America, and remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census.
Charleston is known as The Holy City perhaps by virtue of the prominence of churches on the low-rise cityscape, perhaps because, like Mecca, its devotees hold it so dear], and perhaps for the fact that Carolina was among the few original thirteen colonies to provide toleration for all Protestant religions, though it was not open to Roman Catholics. Many Huguenots found their way to Charleston. Carolina also allowed Jews to practice their faith without restriction. Current trends put Charleston as the fastest-growing municipality in South Carolina. The city's metropolitan area population was counted by the 2010 census at 664,607 -- the second largest in the state -- and the 75th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States.
The city of Charleston is located just south of the midpoint of South Carolina's coastline, at the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper rivers, which flow together into the Atlantic Ocean. Charleston Harbor lies between downtown Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean. Charleston's name is derived from Charles Towne, named after King Charles II of England.
In 2011, Charleston was named #1 U.S. City by Conde Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards and #2 Best City in the U.S. and Canada by Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards. Also in 2011, Bon Appetit magazine named Husk, located on Queen Street in Charleston, the Best New Restaurant in America. America's most-published etiquette expert, Marjabelle Young Stewart, recognized Charleston 1995 as the best-mannered city in the U.S, a claim lent credibility by the fact that it has the first established Livability Court in the country. In 2011, Travel and Leisure Magazine named Charleston America's Sexiest City, as well as America's Most Friendly. Subsequently, Southern Living Magazine named Charleston the most polite and hospitable city in America. In 2012, Travel and Leisure voted Charleston as the second best-dressed city in America, only behind New York City.
South Carolina's Lowcountry holds a major place of importance in African-American history for many reasons, but perhaps most importantly as a port of entry for people of African descent. According to several historians, anywhere from 40 to 60 percent of the Africans who were brought to America during the slave trade entered through ports in the Lowcountry.
This has given the Lowcountry the designation among some as the Ellis Island for African Americans, although some dispute this term, as the Ellis Island immigrants arrived voluntarily as opposed to the Africans who were captured in the Atlantic slave trade.
According to Peter Wood in his book Black Majority: Negroes in Colonial South Carolina from 1670 to the Stono Rebellion, the successful cultivation of rice in the Lowcountry in the 1600s was a major factor in the importation of African labor. Sir Jonathan Atkins was quoted in 1680 as saying, Since people have found out the convenience and cheapness of slave labor they no longer keep white men, who formerly did the work on the Plantations. Joseph Corry, an Englishman who spent some time in what is now the West African nation of Sierra Leone, noted, Rice forms the chief part of the African's sustenance.
When further observation noted the skill of Africans in this region in cultivating rice, Africans from the vicinity of Sierra Leone and Ghana became especially sought-after by slave owners in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
The demand for Africans in the rice-growing regions was such that, By the time the (South Carolina) colony's Proprietors gave way to a royal government in 1720, Africans had outnumbered Europeans for more than a decade.
According to Elaine Nichols of the South Carolina State Museum, Sullivan's Island, an island near Charleston, was a major port of entry for enslaved Africans. Her paper Sullivan's Island Pest Houses: Beginning an Archeological Investigation (1989), detailed the phenomenon of Pest Houses, that were used to quarantine Africans upon their arrival, for fear that the Africans would have contagious diseases. The Africans would often remain confined from 10 to 40 days and 200-300 at a time would sometimes remain in isolation in the pest houses. By 1793, residents of Sullivan's Island demanded that the pest houses be removed from the vicinity.

We visited a church steeped in history and a rather nice steeple. Matthew Wilkinson the Organist and director there was kind enough of to play a lot of Bach. The air condition was not working at the time and the organ tuner who was there the night before did not promise anything. If you know how humid it can get in Charleston in the summer...we visited on one of the worst days. Besides the Kenneth Jones Organ and the lovely Snetzler case. There is a beautiful Bosendorfer grand right next to the organ, that you can barely make out in one of the shots.
George Washington and Robert e Lee both sat (at different times obviously) in Pew 43 and heard organ music (Probably just Washington because the organ was dismantled during the Civil War) coming from the Old Snetzler organ
An Austin Organ of 1910 replaced it. Does anyone know what happened to the Snetzler's pipes, etc? There is little information about its fate on the OHS page.
This is episode 16 of Pipe Organs of SC,
Here is the link to the OHS page on the organs:
