The Siege of Fort Fisher, US Civil War, 1865. The South's Last Artery, Severed. Heroic Last Stand of the Damned.
The fall of Fort Fisher sealed Wilmington’s fate, shutting down the last open port of the Confederacy and severing its final link to the outside world. No more weapons. No more supplies. No more war materiel smuggled through the blockade. With that final door slammed shut, the Confederacy was left to starve, fight, and die alone.
Fort Fisher. December 23, 1864 - January 15, 1865.
Union Naval Force: 57 vessels.
Union Land Forces: 8,000 Infantry.
Confederate Forces: 2,000 Infantry.
