I picked up this shell from a friend of mine who had it in his collection for years. The story he told me about this shell was, that it was recovered from the sunken Confederate ship the CSS Georgiana. The Georgiana was sunk in the Charleston Harbor in South Carolina in 1863. It has a lot of deterioration from being in the salt water for all of those years. Not for sure when this shell was recovered. The lead sabot is still attached to it. Another nice piece to add to my collection.
