Beschreibung:

In fear of the patrolling British ships around Charles Town harbor, the Council of Safety ordered Col. William Moultrie of the SC 2nd Regiment to take Fort Johnson from the small British garrison there. The British were apparently tipped off and they removed all the guns from their platforms and hastily escaped. The Fort was captured by Patriots under Lt. Col. Isaac Motte.
