Under the Old Exchange building on East Bay Street is the cellar the British used as a military prison during the occupation of Charleston, holding patriots including signers of the Declaration. Before that the city chained pirates here: Stede Bonnet, the gentleman pirate, and his crew were held in Charleston before being hanged at White Point in 1718 and buried below the low-water mark. The brickwork of the old sea wall is still down there. PUBLIC museum tour, Charleston.
