PEA PATCH ISLAND, CIVAL WAR PRISON
  • Tip Rating:
  • Fort Delaware was finished in 1859 on the island known as Pea Patch Island. This Union fortress constructed in the shape of a pentagon covers approximately 6 acres and was used as a prison for Confederate prisoners of war during the Civil War.
    Fort Delaware is located on Pea Patch Island in the middle of the Delaware River about halfway between Delaware City, Delaware and Fort Mott, New Jersey. Access to Pea Patch Island and Fort Delaware is provided by the Three Forts Ferry which is a passenger ferry service [no cars] operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority.
