We headed south on Highway 17. Our route was to Florida. But we simply had to stop in Charleston. Moreover, there is something to see in this typical southern city in the USA - there are many interesting places and, in my opinion, it is worth spending more than one day on it. Although we didn't succeed.
If you enter Charleston from the north on Highway 17, the first attraction is the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, where the main exhibit is the aircraft carrier Yorktown (USS Yorktown CV-10). This is one of 24 US-built Essex-class aircraft carriers. It was launched in April 1943 and took part in the fighting in the Pacific during World War II. In addition, he was a participant in the Vietnam War in the mid-60s, and also ensured the landing of the descent module of the Apollo 8 spacecraft. 
To date, only four aircraft carriers of this type remain. All of them, of course, are presented in the form of museums. One is moored at Pier 86 in New York; the other, who was involved in the search and shore delivery of the Apollo 11 crew with Neil Armstrong, near San Francisco; Well, and one more - residents and guests of the city of Corpus Christi in Texas can visit. Yorktown, on the other hand, anchored in Charleston, among the yachts and other ships of the US Navy. 
The ship is 265 meters long and 45 meters wide. On board the aircraft carrier Yorktown can accommodate 103 aircraft of various types - aircraft and helicopters. 
Another notable attraction in Charleston is the Arthur Ravenel Cable-stayed suspension bridge, completed in 2005. 
It is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the United States. Its length is 4000 meters, and the largest span is 471 meters. Until 2011, it was also considered the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America. 
Charleston was founded by the British in 1670 and naturally the old part of the city has a European style with its narrow streets. This is a typical Southern city with colonial architecture and lots of palm trees. The historic center of the city is located on a peninsula that overlooks Charleston Bay (Charleston Harbor). There are many picturesque streets in the city, which are pleasant to walk along. From the tourist center (Charleston Visitor Center), located in the historic part of the city on meeting street, many bus tours begin. In addition to excursions by bus, you can ride around the old part of the city on a horse-drawn cart. Such an excursion is much more pleasant if it is not very hot or it is not raining. 
An architectural feature of Charleston is that the facades of some houses are very narrow. 
This is due to the fact that in the 19th century Charleston was one of the most prosperous cities in the American South, and the government decided to replenish the treasury by introducing an increased tax on luxurious buildings, tying the tax rate to the width of the facade of the house. By building such structures, which are not typical for us, the residents simply avoided paying taxes, leaving the usable area of the house unchanged. But this certainly does not apply to the houses of wealthy colonizers. 
Many of them have become museums of "liberated life". 
I would like to make a small digression. There are enough parking lots in the city, but it can be difficult to find a parking space near the historical sights of the old part of the city. In paid parking lots, 30 minutes of parking will cost, if I'm not mistaken, $ 2. On the Murray Boulevard embankment, Betteri East and near the aquarium, you can leave the car for free, but it’s very difficult with places there. Yes, and try not to park your car near the poles, otherwise the seagulls can crap it so "try" that you have to go to the car wash.
The South Carolina Aquarium is located in Charleston. 
But after visiting the second largest in the world, I did not want to go there.
Nearby are several companies that offer cruises to Fort Sumter, the capture of which began the American Civil War of 1861-1865. 
Cruises are different: only along the bay, extended throughout the harbor of Charleston with and without a visit to the fort, on a small boat or on a yacht 
Or on this ship 
In general, choose which one you like. By the way, the water offers a beautiful view of the embankment of the historic center. 
A mile from the coast, on the island of Shute Foley, is one of the three forts that were part of the city's line of defense against aggression from the sea - Pinckney Castle. At first it was an earthen fort, the construction of which began in 1797. It got its name in honor of the hero of the Revolutionary War, Charles Pinckney. The construction of the Pinckney Castle Ford was completed in early 1804, but in September it was almost completely destroyed by a strong hurricane. It was restored again by 1810, but with the use of masonry. 
Charleston's most famous defensive structure is Fort Sumter. Its construction began in 1829 and it is the "youngest" fortification of the city. Fort Sumter was not fully completed when the siege began in 1861. At that time, the fort was a brick fortification in the shape of a pentagon, designed to accommodate 650 people and 135 guns in three tiers. The height of the three-story fort was 15 meters, the length of the sides was from 52 to 58 meters, and the thickness of the wall was 1.5 meters. Now he looks like this. 
The first in the line of defense of Charleston was Fort Moltrey, which the Americans began to build in 1776 on Sullivan's Island. 
Interestingly, in 1827, the famous American writer and poet Edgar Alan Poe served in Fort Moltrie. And the events described by him in the story "The Gold Bug" take place precisely on Sullivan Island. By the way, Sullivan Island has the most expensive houses in Charleston. 
But this is due not to the pomposity of the place or the settlement of the rich, but to the nature of the soil - it is sandy here and very expensive insurance due to the high probability of hurricanes. So only wealthy people can afford a house here. 
After walking and enjoying the color of the city, we went further. We had an amazing journey ahead of us.
Charleston South Carolina is a city of history, an open-air museum, here every street and house is saturated with many years of history, unique architecture that gives Charleston a special touch of charm and a little European character.
The city is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in South Carolina between the Cooper and Ashley rivers. All Americans should visit this city to study the history of the country firsthand, so to speak.
Story
The city was founded by English colonists in 1670, and named after King Charles II - Charles Towne, later renamed Charleston (Charlston) which grew from a colonial port into a wealthy city by the middle of the eighteenth century. In the mid-nineteenth century, Charleston's economy prospered thanks to its busy seaport, as well as its numerous rice, cotton, and coffee plantations.
In April 1861, Fort Sumter near Charleston was fired on by soldiers, signaling the start of the bloodiest Civil War in history. Charleston was very slow to recover from the destruction of the war, but this became one of the main goals of the city due to the huge list of historically significant monuments of architecture, so Charleston was forced to restore damaged buildings instead of replacing them.
After the war, the city became less and less dependent on the agricultural industry, and gradually rebuilt its economy towards trade and industry. During the first decades of the 1900s, Charleston's industrial and port activities flourished, later tourism, the naval base, and the medical industry became the main sources of capital. Today, about 4,510,000 people visit Charleston annually.
Walk through the historic center or a carriage tour.
Every square meter of Charleston is literally saturated with history? so I would recommend taking a tour? if it is var first visit. After all, you will agree that it is more interesting with a guide. He will show you the most interesting places in the center of Charleston and tell you many informative stories. There are both hiking and horse riding tours. Do you choose? which one is closer to your liking. The wagon tour costs about 40 minutes and costs $22 (be sure to ask for a coupon at the hotel where you are staying and they will give you a $2 discount). As a last resort, get into Wikipedia and print out about the city, so it will be more interesting to walk along the old streets.
ghost tour.
Yes, yes, he is the most ghost tour. The fact is that in Charleston at night it turns into a ghost town. Many residents often encounter unexplained phenomena and often see the silhouettes of ghosts. In one of the hotels there is room 203, where the girl's ghost lives. Believe it or not, this room is booked six months in advance. And the story here is this: The wife of a plantation owner fell in love with the seas and they secretly met in a hotel, in room 203. Once, when a sailor arrived from another business trip, the girl saw him in the arms of another and could not control her feelings and threw herself out of the window of that same room 203. Until now, her ghost lives in this hotel. Many guests of room 203 noticed that someone was rummaging around in their personal belongings, especially women's. One woman staying in that famous room at Christmas could not find her underwear and went down to the reception to complain that someone had stolen her things. What was the surprise of the hotel staff and the guest herself that her bra hung on Rozhdestvenskaya Street in the hotel lobby! Believe all this or not - you decide! The so-called Gost tours take place every evening and start at 10 pm near the central market of Charleston. It all depends on the guide that you come across and what stories he tells you. We were given special ghost detectors, some even signaled ghosts.

Since the city has a rich and eventful history, it is full of museums. Among them are both the oldest museum in the United States and fairly new ones.
Fort Sumter
This fort is one of the main historical attractions of Charleston. It is famous for the fact that it was here that the civil war between the North and the South began in 1861. You can only get here by sea. For example, from Liberty square 2-3 times a day (depending on the season) there is a ferry to the fort. You can also get to the fort from the neighboring town of Mount Pleasant. Water trams run (again, depending on the season) 1 to 3 times a day. The cost of such a tour is about 20 USD.
Moultrie
Another famous fort is located on the opposite side of the bay from Fort Sumter. It can be reached, as I said, by land via Mount Pleasant to Sullivan's Island.
The Charleston Museum
This museum is located in the heart of Charleston. It, in fact, is a local history exhibition: the exposition tells about the history of the city, how its appearance changed and the population grew. The museum consists of three parts:
- The Charleston Museum;
- The Heyward-Washington House;
- The Joseph Manigault House.
You can buy a ticket in one (for 12 USD) or two (for 18) parts, or a complex ticket for 25 USD. There are significant discounts for children and teenagers. You can buy a ticket either on the spot or online. The main building of the museum is located at 360 Meeting Street - directly opposite the visitor center. Working hours - from 9:00 to 17:00.

Other points of interest
And a few more words so you don't think that Charleston has nothing more to offer you. When you go to the Sullivan Islands, or the Palm Islands, or maybe Fort Moultrie, or the Bunhol plantation, you will definitely use the bridge. The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. If you, like us, have traveled all over the East Coast of the United States, then it will hardly surprise you (although the bridge is pretty nice).
But the fact that it offers a view of the bay, I liked it. And nearby is laid up the real aircraft carrier USS YORKTOWN (CV-10). The most chic thing is that this former warship is now open to the public. For adults, a visit will cost 22 USD, and for children - 14 USD. Detailed information on the official website.
The Button Museum was opened in 2008 by Dalton Stevens of South Carolina and displays all the button masterpieces. Here, everyone can see the famous Chevrolet, which is covered with 150,000 buttons, as well as the hearse of the local funeral home, which is covered with 600,000 buttons. In addition, to the attention of the audience, two coffins decorated with buttons, various household utensils and other no less interesting and original works.
Dalton Stevens from South Carolina has long been nicknamed the King of Buttons, because for 15 years he diligently sewed and pasted millions of buttons on various objects.
In the 80s, television ended broadcasting at two in the morning, and Dalton Stevens often had insomnia. He found a way to pass the time: he found an old denim overall and just started sewing buttons on it. Three years later, Dalton's overall was covered with 16,333 buttons and weighed 16 pounds. But that was just the beginning... After the jumpsuit came the pantsuit, and then various other objects. For example, guitar, banjo, piano and even an old Chevrolet. Soon such an original hobby attracted the attention of the media, and very soon the whole world already knew the amazing story about the King of Buttons.
By the way, buttons also serve as an entrance fee.
Folly beach
Folly Beach is considered one of the best surf spots on the East Coast of South Carolina. Throughout the year, there are events and master classes in water sports and fishing from the pier.
Folly Beach is a 15-minute drive from Charleston. This sandy beach is crowded all year round and does not die out even with the onset of evening.
