==Operation==
Operation Geranium occurred from 15 – 20 December 1948〔 and involved the dumping of approximately 3,150 tons of stockpiled lewisite into the Atlantic Ocean.〔〔〔 "Geranium" was so called because lewisite has an odor reminiscent of geraniums.〔〔 The materials dumped consisted of two types of bulk container, 60 were of the M14 variety, and another 3,700 bulk containers were dumped as well.〔 The lewisite was shipped to Charleston from the Gulf Chemical Warfare Depot.〔Vilensky, Joel A.
