Charleston Port Terminal

Description:

Photograph of an expanse of land on the Cooper River requisitioned in 1918 by the United States Government during World War I. This 2000 acres, located between North Charleston and the mouth of Goose Creek (approximately 15 miles north of the Charleston Harbor), was for the Charleston Army Depot. The quartermaster facility along with the Ordnance Depot and the Animal Embarkation Depot formed what would officially be titled the Charleston Port Terminal but called the "Army Base Terminal" by locals.
