Waterbound: The Story of Fort Delaware

- Опубликовано: 30 май 2012
- 1861-1865: Fort Delaware, the largest and most state-of the-art military fortress of its kind, was also the centerpiece of a thriving and unique community. A blend of Civil War Confederate prisoners, Union soldiers, and civilians, it was for a brief time one of the largest cities in all of Delaware. An impregnable fortress turned into a virtually inescapable prison, it housed POWs captured at battles such as Gettysburg and Vicksburg, along with several now famous political prisoners. The story of Fort Delaware is more than the story of a military marvel, it is a story of the people who lived and died there, the effects of the Civil War on a border state, and the indefatigable spirit of American ingenuity.
I love visiting Fort Delaware. I grew up in Newark, Delaware, now live in Maryland. I've been there many times. My most recent visit to the Fort was this past Sunday August 6th 2017. I've only been there for daytime visits I haven't done the Paranormal investigations there.
Fort Delaware is well preserved and maintained. A must see for anyone interested in American military history
Born and raised in Smyrna Delaware, been to this magnificent structure about four times.
My family used to go to Fort Deleware all the time when I was a kid and I loved it
My great grandfather was a prisoner there from 1863-65
My great great great grandfather was a prisoner there during that time as well.
YOUR GRANDFATHER WAS IN THERE DURING THE CIVIL WAR
One of the soldiers, "With their hat on", said they passed the time by stacking straw bits until they fell over for entertainment, when I went their around 8 or 9 years old. Sounds like pick-up sticks. We went many, many times. Each time was great.
Edit: Don't know if they still do this but, they'd fire off one of the main top-deck guns around nonn in the summertime and 1-2PM in the winter weather. Really awesome sight and funny to see and the guy would yell, "Everyone plug your ears please!" Ha ha!
Great deserves alot of views
anyone who volunteers for MIC needs their heads examined - all wars are bankers wars - there is no glory in a bankers war - Draft: all volunteer - when asked to serve your country (really a bank) just sit down and not raise your hand, be quiet - Mohommed Ali did this - his Title was stolen and he went to jail temporarily - later he was released and his Title returned
So cool!!
just picked up a dog up that way been a marylander all my life and never herd o this place
Those guns on the walls aren't there anymore! Were they removed since the video was made? I don't recall ever seeing guns up there. Only the concrete bases are left
I was there and my friend took a picture of me there was a full suited soldier behind me in attention there was no one there
