Russell MA. 1998. Fort Sumter National Monument submerged cultural resources survey. Submerged Resources Center Professional Reports. National Park Service, Department of the Interior. Santa Fe, NM
In May 1996, the National Park Service’s Submerged Cultural Resources Unit (SCRU) conducted underwater survey and evaluation operations in Charleston Harbor on the remains of Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley. After completing survey operations on the Hunley site, SCRU conferred with staff at Fort Sumter National Monument (FOSU), who agreed that with the NPS assets in the area it was an ideal opportunity to conduct a submerged cultural resources survey around Fort Sumter. FOSU had been targeted by SCRU as one of many units of the National Park System in need of underwater archeological survey because of the potential for significant submerged cultural resources. This report describes the submerged cultural resources survey for Fort Sumter National Monument.
