Battery White

Battery White was an artillery battery constructed by the Confederates during the American Civil War. Built in 1862–63 to defend Winyah Bay on the South Carolina coast, the battery was strongly situated and constructed; however, it was inadequately manned, and was captured without resistance during

the final months of the war. The battery is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is located on private land, but is open to the public.
