Justin McIntyre, curator and maritime historian at the S.C. Maritime Museum, explores the busy career of the battleship USS South Carolina. The ship, which was commissioned in 1910, protected American interests during the Mexican Revolution, performed escort duty during World War I, and after decommission, took friendly fire in experiments that helped make the next generation of ships stronger.

The DigiBridge Lecture series was first presented as a Facebook live event, to allow the continuation of quality library programs while keeping patrons safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. The series is sponsored by the South Carolina Humanities with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
