Original Key to the Magazine of Fort Moultrie with Original Brown Ink Tag
Metal key, 6 in., granting access to the magazine at Fort Moultrie. Accompanied by brown ink tag stating that it was taken by sailor John E. Jones, an ensign aboard the USS Mahopac , after the surrender of Charleston, SC, February 18, 1865. Mahopac was a single-turreted Canonicus-class monitor built for the Union Navy during the Civil War and launched on May 17, 1864. Primarily stationed along the James River supporting operations against Richmond, she was ordered to steam to South Carolina in December of 1864 to prepare for the bombardments of Fort Fisher. Once the fort was captured in January, Mahopac was dispatched to Charleston, where she remained on picket duty until early March of 1865.
Provenance: John E. Jones; donation to Wadhams, NY Post GAR; donation to Mattatuck Historical Society; sold at auction. - Shipping Info
