During the Union bombardment of 1863-65, Fort Sumter's right face wall sustained the least damage of any of the fort's walls. After the Civil War, the fort's first-tier casemates, including those in the right face, were rearmed with 100-pounder rifled Parrott cannon brought from Morris Island about one mile south, and these could be the same guns the Union had fired on Fort Sumter during the war. Eleven Parrott guns occupy these right face casemates today.
