EDITORS COMMENTS
The Union fleet launches a relentless attack on Fort Jackson and Fort St Philip, Louisiana during the American Civil War in 1862. This powerful engraving captures the intense bombardment as Union warships unleash their firepower upon these Confederate strongholds. The image showcases the might of the Union navy, with a fleet of warships positioned along the riverbank.

The defenders put up a valiant fight, but they are overwhelmed by the sheer force of this naval assault. This historical print offers a glimpse into one of the pivotal moments in American history. New Orleans was a key strategic location for both sides during the Civil War, and capturing these forts was crucial for gaining control over this vital port city.

It serves as a reminder of how warfare evolved during this era, showcasing advancements in naval technology and tactics. As we study this image, we can't help but feel awe at both the bravery displayed by those defending Fort Jackson and Fort St Philip and admiration for the determination shown by Union forces to secure victory.
