Description

This stereograph features two men laid back with their backs against a small boat on the edge of a Charleston Harbor dock at Fort Sumter. An island is seen beyond the dock where the men are located. The publisher's name is printed on either end of the images and the title of the image and the copyright are printed along the bottom right edge. The back of the stereograph provides a brief history of the area where Fort Sumpter is located and provides context for where the image is located.
