It protected the vital trading routes of the port at Wilmington, North Carolina, from 1861 until its capture by the Union in 1865.The fort was located on one of Cape Fear River's two outlets to the Atlantic Ocean on what was then known as Federal Point and today is known as Pleasure Island. Because of the roughness of the seas there, it was known as the Southern Gibraltar.
