Charles-Town, spelled as in the title, was the capital of the colony of South Carolina, and this view shows it as a town that lived by its harbor. The settlement was founded in 1670 and grew into the leading port of the southern colonies, shipping rice, indigo and deerskins across the Atlantic. The seat of government moved inland to Columbia in 1786, but Charleston remained a major port. Steam power reached its waterfront only well after this period, so the print belongs to the age of sail, when the harbor was the town's main link to the wider world.
