From the Civil War Traveler website:
"This massive Confederate fort between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River 20 miles south of Wilmington protected that critical port until the final months of the war.
Fort Fisher's guns also shielded blockade runners as they traveled in and out of the Cape Fear River carrying important supplies in and cash crops out. This walking tour describes the fort and the battle that finally conquered it."
