Battery Hambright

Cockspur Island saw one more military use

after the War Between the States. During the

Spanish American War, a small force was

garrisoned here to protect the river mouth.

They operated the controls for electric

mines in the Savannah River, and manned

guns in Fort Pulaski's demilume, and here,

on the left, at Battery Hambright.
