Wilmington's Fort Anderson Study

From the January 24, 2014, WECT NBC, Wilmington, NC. "Fort Anderson study reveals new details about Civil War" by Ben Powell.

Fort Anderson is being surveyed by experts. The last detailed study of the fortification was done in 1965 when surveying techniques were quite primitive compared to today's.

Another hyper-detailed survey was done in 2012.

Paul Shiver, of Highfill Infrastructure in Wilmington is running it. He will be examining the different methods of construction used as well as how the garrison lived and worked. A 3-D computer model will be made of the site.

He is volunteering his time and the effort is 70% complete.
