Enjoy your dinner as the sun sets over the salt marsh. Day 2 — Charleston Disembark onto history at Fort Sumter Get off your private boat onto historic ground: here the American Civil War started.

But once they were awake, and roared and smoked and dealt out death. When you go up again into the daylight of the present, you will look over the sturdy fort wall out to sea, and ponder on the fates of men and nations. In some places the past never dies.
