In a sort time we will be visiting Savannah's Old Fort Jackson, located about a mile downriver from the old city. It was built during the War of 1812, but never saw action.
During the Civil War, it likewise never fired a shot, but acted as the headquarters for the river defense of the city and had the ironclad CSS Georgia tied up by it.

2012 marks the 200th anniversary of America's "Forgotten War," the War of 1812 that took place over three years, 1812 to 1815.
