Description
John Hairr is an award-winning author and
maritime historian who explores the past
of unique and often forgotten places. He returns
to the Cape Fear country for his
latest photographic look into the
region8217spast.nbspKur Beach, North Carolina
The sandy dunes stretching from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Cape Fear River may not have
looked impressive, but Fort Fisher, North
Carolina, was a key part of the coastal
defenses protecting the most important link in
the lifeline of the Confederacy. Blockade runners
and naval raiders alike sheltered for cover under
the protection provided by powerful
artillery batteries, which warships of the Union
Navy dared not challenge. Modeled by
the fort8217scommander, Col. William Lamb,
after Russian-engineered designs, the
sandy ramparts defending the New Inlet entrance
to the Cape Fear River eventually became
the largest fortifications in the South, gaining
the nickname 8220Cofederate Gibraltar.8221Duri
ng the waning days of the war, Union commanders
went to great lengths to destroy the fort, thus
closing the vital port of Wilmington to
Confederate blockade runners. The woefully
undermanned defenders fought bravely, turning
back the first Union assault in December 1864 and
would no doubt have repulsed the second had
promised reinforcements arrived. After fierce
hand-to-hand combat, the garrison was overwhelmed
by superior numbers, and Fort Fisher fell on
January 15, 1865.
