Battery White, Civil War fortification in Georgetown County, United States.

Battery White contains earthworks, gun emplacements, and structural elements designed to protect the strategic entrance to Winyah Bay during military conflicts.

Confederate forces constructed Battery White in 1862 to strengthen coastal defenses along South Carolina, maintaining control until Union forces captured it in 1865.

The fortification demonstrates the military engineering techniques of the 1860s through its strategic placement and construction methods at Mayrant's Bluff.

Visitors can access the battery grounds through designated paths, with informational panels explaining the historical features of this military installation.

The battery maintained effectiveness against Federal incursions despite limited personnel, utilizing advantageous positioning that Admiral Dahlgren later noted in his reports.
