View over Fort Delaware

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you look out across the Delaware River, you'll spot an island in the middle. Fort Delaware, perched on the island, was built as a harbor defense in the mid-19th century. It played an important role in the Civil War as the Union used it as a prisoner base. You can catch a boat to the island to see it up close.
