The Defenders of Fort Moultrie, Bronze and granite military monument in White Point Gardens, Charleston, United States.
The Defenders of Fort Moultrie monument features a bronze sculpture of Sergeant William Jasper positioned on a granite pedestal with inscriptions and bronze plates.
After the British attack at Fort Sullivan in 1776, Sergeant Jasper mounted the ramparts during heavy fire to retrieve and hold the fallen regimental flag.
The monument dedication in 1877 involved the Palmetto Guard military company leading a ceremonial procession through Charleston to commemorate the battle centennial.
The 21.5-foot monument stands at the intersection of East Battery and Murray Boulevard, offering visitors information about South Carolina's role in the Revolutionary War.
Bronze plates on the pedestal display the Seal of South Carolina, Charleston's seal, and a scene depicting Jasper's rescue of the flag during combat.
