Abstract:
Fort Fisher was the largest and strongest earthwork fort of its time. Union troops hoped to bomb the fort using a ship loaded with explosives. The bomb was designed by General Benjamin F. ‘Beast’ Butler (1818-1893). Though the bomb failed, a second attack on the fort using a land assault and a naval bombardment brought the surrender of Fort Fisher.

This article discusses the idea and methodology for creating a ship bomb.

Abstract:
By 1862, North Carolina was divided by more than region. In the Piedmont and mountains, secessionists had control of the government. In the Coastal Plain, there was vast Union troop occupation, from major battle losses in Washington, New Bern, Morehead City, Wilmington, Beaufort. All over the state, chaos was also the victor because of conditions such as diphtheria outbreaks; guerrilla forces called “buffaloes”; Confederate forces that were intermittently organized; military generals seizing governmental control in the void of political leadership.

Abstract:
A major source of materials goods for the Confederacy and its troops, Fort Fisher’s attack challenged General Braxton Bragg’s boast of its impenetrability and the South’s victory. The Union armada of 64 ships such as the Colorado, Powhatan, and Wabash assures the defeat, despite the efforts of military leaders such as Fort Fisher’s commander, Colonel William Lamb.
