Caption BATTLE OF FORT SULLIVAN (Continued from other side) As Adm. Peter Parker's ships shelled the fort its log walls absorbed or deflected the British shells and the Americans lost only 37 men killed or wounded. Moultrie's shells damaged every ship, inflicted 219 losses, and forced Parker's withdrawal. A British land attack at Breach Inlet also failed. The first major Patriot victory of the war also gave S.C. its nickname, "The Palmetto State." Erected by the Fort Sullivan Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, 2005
