Charleston's historic past is rich and diverse, as it was a key city during the Civil War. Its waterside location is captured beautifully in this Charleston, South Carolina - Panorama. Bring a panorama or two to cover up those dorm walls, since dorm wall decorations are required to keep your dorm room from feeling too drab. Posters for college are great, but these panoramas truly capture majestic views and are some special and captivating dorm wall decorations.
*Use Glue Dots to hang the unframed panorama.
Text on Panorama: This aerial panoramic photograph of Charleston was taken by James
Blakeway. It features a spectacular view of Charleston as seen looking
across the mouth of the Ashley River where it empties into Charleston
Harbor. Centered in the distance is the U.S.S. Yorktown (CV-10),
commissioned in 1943 and named after the famous U.S.S. Yorktown (CV-5)
sunk at Midway. The oldest city in South Carolina, Charleston is famous
for its picturesque streets, houses, and other 18th Century monuments.
It was also the scene of the first incident of the Civil War, the firing
on Fort Sumter. On the waterfront, toward the right tip of the
peninsula, is White Point Gardens, where many Civil War cannons are
displayed. Charleston is a major regional port and manufacturing center.
