Isle of Palms (Long Island, 1776)
Landmark
The island immediately north of Sullivan's Island, known as Long Island in 1776, where General Henry Clinton landed his troops. The channel separating Long Island from Sullivan's Island was reported to be passable at low tide but proved to be impassable, preventing Clinton's force from supporting the naval bombardment.
