From 1876 to 1898, the fort served as a lighthouse.
In 1898, at the outbreak of the Spanish–American War, Army engineers began rebuilding again with a massive concrete battery in the center of the fort.
It mounted two 12-inch gun M1895 costal guns.
The construction was not completed until after the war.
During World War I the two-gun battery (called "Battery Huger") was manned by the U.S. Army.
By World War II the guns were obsolete.
They were finally removed in 1943.
Later in the war it became an Anti-aircraft battery.
In 1948 the National Park Service took possession of the fort.
Today, the restored Fort Sumpter, along with the Visitor center and Education Center (both in Charleston) and Fort Moultrie are popular tourist attractions.
The fort is accessible only by special ferries that depart from Liberty Square.
The ride to the island takes about 30 minutes.
There is also a ferry service from Patriots Point which has parking for recreational and taller vehicles.
The monument is open to visitors 362 days a year.
The restored fort is one level instead of the former three levels.
Several of the brick walls still have artillery projectiles stuck in the masonry.
The park museum has a scale model of the original fort.
It houses the original 33-star U.S. flag that flew during the first bombardment.
Also on display is the original flag of the South Carolina militia (called the Palmetto Guard) who took possession of the fort after the Union surrender.

A prerogative is an exclusive power or privilege possessed by an official of a government or state as a part of his or her office.
Under English law it is right of a sovereign, which in theory, has no restrictions.
For example, the British monarch holds Royal prerogatives which have never been fully listed.
In practice, they are usually used by ministers on behalf of the monarch.
In the United States, the  Constitution is written in such a way to allow executive prerogatives.
Presidents use these powers to manage crises or to resolve disputes.
Although nothing in the Constitution specifically gave him the power to do it, George Washington used executive prerogative to declare neutrality in the 1790s dispute between Great Britain and France.
Thomas Jefferson used it to make the Louisiana Purchase.
Abraham Lincoln used it many times during the American Civil War.

T2 phage is more properly called Enterobacteria phage T2.
It is a virulent bacteriophage which infects Escherichia coli bacteria.
It contains linear double-stranded DNA, and is covered by a protective protein coat.
T2 is a 'tailed phage', one of a group known as the 'T4-like viruses'.
The DNA of the phage is injected into E. coli cells.
It quickly turns the E. coli cell into a T2-producing factory.
New phages are released when the cell ruptures.
The Hershey–Chase experiments, done by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, showed how the DNA of viruses is injected into the bacterial cells, while most of the viral proteins stay outside.
The injected DNA molecules cause the bacterial cells to produce more viral DNA and proteins.
These discoveries showed that DNA, rather than proteins, is the hereditary material.
It is unknown who invented this scheme.
Geoffrey Chaucer introduced the stanza into English poetry in 14th century.
It may have been borrowed from Italian or French poetry, but the form became typically English.
Chaucer used the form in Troilus and Criseyde.
Rhyme royal was popular in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Many English and Scottish poets used rhyme royal.
It is suitable for long poems.
In English literature rhyme royal is almost always composed of ten-syllable lines with five beats.
Outside England rhyme royal is not as popular.
In the United States Emma Lazarus wrote some poems using ababbcc rhyme-scheme.
This stanza comes form her poem Sympathy (included in Epochs).
It comes not in such wise as she had deemed,
Else might she still have clung to her despair.
More tender, grateful than she could have dreamed,
Fond hands passed pitying over brows and hair,
And gentle words borne softly through the air,
Calming her weary sense and wildered mind,
By welcome, dear communion with her kind.
Poets who wrote rhyme royal frequently were William Morris and John Masefield.
In 20th century the stanza went out of use.
Ottava rima is of Italian origin.
It was used by many poets in Italy, Spain and Portugal in 15th and 16th centuries.
Some of the poets to use this form were Ludovico Ariosto, Torquato Tasso, Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga and Luís Vaz de Camões.
In England it was not so popular at that time.
Later Lord Byron wrote Don Juan in ottava rima.
An example can be found in Emma Lazarus's poetry:
Master and Sage, greetings and health to thee,
From thy most meek disciple!
Deign once more
Endure me at thy feet, enlighten me,
As when upon my boyish head of yore,
Midst the rapt circle gathered round thy knee
Thy sacred vials of learning thou didst pour.
By the large lustre of thy wisdom orbed
Be my black doubts illumined and absorbed.

The Swiss Family Robinson (German: Der Schweizerische Robinson) is a novel by Johann David Wyss.
It was first published in 1812.
The story is about a Swiss family shipwrecked in the East Indies while on their way to Port Jackson, Australia.
It was written by Swiss pastor Johann David Wyss, edited by his son Johann Rudolf Wyss and illustrated by his son Johann Emmanuel Wyss.
The novel was intended to teach his four sons about family values, good husbandry, the uses of the natural world and self-reliance.
Wyss' attitude toward education is in line with the teachings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Many of the episodes have to do with Christian-oriented moral lessons such as frugality, husbandry, acceptance, cooperation, etc.
The family includes the sons Fritz, Ernest, Jack and Franz.
It also includes their mother and their father who is the main character and narrator.
The adventures are presented as a series of lessons in natural history and the physical sciences.
It resembles other, similar educational books for children in this period.
Examples include Charlotte Turner Smith's Rural Walks: in Dialogues intended for the use of Young Persons (1795), Rambles Further: A continuation of Rural Walks (1796), A Natural History of Birds, intended chiefly for young persons (1807).
But the novel differs in that it is modeled on Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, a genuine adventure story.
It presents a geographically impossible array of large mammals that probably could never have existed together on a single island.
Over the years there have been many versions of the story with episodes added, changed, or deleted.
Perhaps the best-known English version is by William H. G. Kingston, first published in 1879.
It is based on Isabelle de Montolieu's 1813 French adaptation and 1824 continuation (from chapter 37) Le Robinson suisse, ou, Journal d'un père de famille, naufragé avec ses enfants in which were added further adventures of Fritz, Franz, Ernest, and Jack.
Other English editions that claim to include the whole of the Wyss-Montolieu narrative are by W. H. Davenport Adams (1869–1910) and Mrs H. B. Paull (1879).
Although movie and TV adaptations typically name the family "Robinson", it is not a Swiss name.
The "Robinson" of the title refers to Robinson Crusoe.
The German name translates as the Swiss Robinson, and identifies the novel as belonging to the Robinsonade genre, rather than as a story about a family named Robinson.
Willis the pilot: a sequel to The Swiss family Robinson; or, Adventures of an emigrant family wrecked on an unknown coast of the Pacific Ocean (1858) has been attributed to Johann Wyss or to Johanna Spyri, author of Heidi.
Second Fatherland (Seconde Patrie, 1900), by Jules Verne takes up the story at the point where Wyss's tale left off.
It has also been published in two volumes, Their Island Home and Castaways of the Flag.

Rubble is broken stone, of irregular size, shape and texture.
Unfinished stone from a quarry is called rubble.
Rubble naturally found in the soil is known also as 'brash'.
One kind, where the stones are loosely thrown together in a wall between boards and grouted with mortar almost like concrete, is called in Italian "muraglia di getto" and in French "bocage".
In Pakistan, walls made of rubble and concrete, cast in a formwork, are called 'situ', which probably derives from Sanskrit (similar to the Latin 'in situ' meaning 'made on the spot').
Walls that use large stones put together without any attempt at courses is called rubble walling.
They are laid at random and are held together with mortar.
Where similar work is laid in courses, it is known as coursed rubble.
Dry-stone walling is somewhat similar work done without the use of mortar.
It is bound together by the fit of the stones and the regular placement of stones which extend through the thickness of the wall.
Building foundations made of rubble almost always leak water and are damp.
Rubble walls in Malta
Rubble walls () are found all over the island of Malta.
Similar walls are also frequently found in Sicily and the Arab countries.
The various shapes and sizes of the stones used to build these walls look like stones that were found in the area lying on the ground or in the soil.
It is most probable that the practice of building these walls around the field was inspired by the Arabs during their rule in Malta, as in Sicily who were also ruled by the Arabs around the same period.
The Maltese farmer found that the technique of these walls was very useful especially during an era where resources were limited.
Rubble walls are used to serve as borders between the property of one farm from the other.
A great advantage that  rubble walls offered is that when heavy rain falls, their structure would allow excessive water to pass through and therefore, excess water will not ruin the products.
Soil erosion is minimised as the wall structure allows the water to pass through but it traps the soil and prevents it from being carried away from the field.
One can see many rubble walls on the side of the hills and in valleys where the land slopes down and consequently the soil is in greater danger of being carried away.
