[PAR] [TLE] The Battery (Charleston) [SEP] The Battery is a landmark defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, South Carolina.  Named for a civil-war coastal defense artillery battery at the site, it stretches along the lower shores of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, which meet here to form Charleston harbor.  Historically, it has been understood to extend from the beginning of the seawall at the site of the former Omar Shrine Temple (40-44 East Bay Street) to the intersection of what is now Murray Boulevard and King Street.  The higher part of the promenade, paralleling East Battery, as the street is known south of Water Street, to the intersection of Murray Boulevard, is known as High Battery.  Fort Sumter is visible from the Cooper River side (High Battery) and from the point, as are Castle Pinckney, the World War II aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10), Fort Moultrie, and Sullivan's Island. [PAR] [TLE] Fort Sumter [SEP] Fort Sumter is a sea fort in Charleston, South Carolina, notable for two battles of the American Civil War.  It was one of a number of special forts planned after the War of 1812, combining high walls and heavy masonry, and classified as Third System, as a grade of structural integrity.  Work started in 1829, but was incomplete by 1860, when South Carolina seceded from the Union.
