Ma- * No record THE CLOSING OF SAVANNAH, APRIL 12, 1862 This terrific punishment was inflicted upon the nearest angle of the fort by the thirty-six heavy rifled cannon and the mortars whichthe Federals had planted on Big Tybec Island, and by the gunboats which had found a channel enabling them to get in the rear of thefort. We get a more distant view of the angle in the lower picture. Fort Pulaski had been effectually blockaded since February, 1862,as a part of the Federal plan to establish supreme authority along the Atlantic coast from Wassaw Sound, below Savannah, north toCharleston. On April 10,1862, General Hunter demanded the surrender of Fort Pulaski and when it was refused opened the bom-bardment. For two days the gallant garrison held out and then finding the fort untenable, surrendered. This enabled the FederalGovernment effectually to close Savannah against contraband traffic.
