Description: "Exterior view of Fort Clinch, on Amelia Island, Fla., commanding the Harbor of Fernandina, captured by the Federal Land and Naval forces under Commodore Dupont and General Wright, March 4th, 1862. On the 4th of March, 1862, the Federal forces, under the command of Commodore Dupont and General H. G. Wright, took full possession of Fernandina, the chief, indeed almost the only, port on the Atlantic side of Florida. Fernandina is situated on the northwest part of Amelia Island, which forms part of the Atlantic seaboard of Florida. The northern and principal approach to it is through Cumberland Sound, defended by Fort Clinch, which is situated on the northwest point of Amelia Island, and about three miles north of Fernandina. Fernandina is the Atlantic terminus of the Florida Railroad, which runs to Cedar Keys, in the Gulf of Mexico. Fort Clinch is a casemated building, and by its capture and the surrounding earthworks twelve heavy guns fell into the hands of the Federals."— Frank Leslie, 1896
