The 55th Massachusetts at Old Fort Jackson

Yesterday, I went to the Old Fort Jackson in Savannah and took a tour of the fort.  It was considerably smaller than Fort Pulaski.

I Civil War re-enactor greeted visitors at the gate, a member of the 55th Massachusetts, USCT.  Had a nice talk with him and he was amzed at how much I knew about the USCT (United States Colored Troops).  He didn't know about the SS General Lyon though and said he would look it up.
