A print of a photograph of Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Image looks out from the fort over the beach and water. A heavy artillery piece has been destroyed on the right hand side of the image. To the left of the carriage, against the parapet are stands of unfired grape shot. The Y shaped lines in the middle of the image were probably caused by a cracked negative. Fort Fisher was held by the Confederates until two battles with the Union, one in December of 1864 and the next the following January, when it was captured.
