Petersburg, Va. Bomb-Proof Quarters, Fort Sedgwick (Fort Hell) (U.S. Civil War) Fort Sedgwick, also known as Fort Hell, was a bomb-proof quarter located in the Confederate defenses of Petersburg, Virginia, during the American Civil War. The fort was built in response to Union General Ulysses S. Grant's Siege of Petersburg (1864-1865) and was designed to provide protection for artillery batteries against enemy bombardments. Constructed by Confederate forces under the command of General Beauregard, Fort Sedgwick was strategically positioned near the Boydton Plank Road, which connected Petersburg with Richmond, the Confederate capital. Despite its name, Fort Hell, the fortification earned its nickname less for any actual hellish conditions and more due to the intense bombardment it endured during the siege. The fort was unique in that it featured bomb-proof quarters, providing soldiers with a safe haven from enemy fire. This allowed Confederate forces to continue operations even under heavy shelling. Although the fort saw action throughout the Siege of Petersburg, its exact role and impact on the outcome of the battle are not well-documented due to limited historical records. Today, Fort Sedgwick serves as a significant historic site related to the American Civil War. Visitors can learn about the history of the fort, the siege of Petersburg, and the lives of soldiers during this tumultuous period in American history. The site is maintained by the National Park Service and offers educational programs, tours, and exhibits for visitors interested in learning more about this pivotal moment in U.S. history.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
