Exhibits:
Built for the federal government's post Civil War coastal defense plan of defending Delaware River ports, Fort Mott was part of a three-fort coastal defense system which also included Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island and Fort DuPont in Delaware City, Delaware. Its big 10 and 12-inch guns were mounted on disappearing carriages with an effective range of eight to ten miles, sufficient to match or out-range the guns of contemporary naval vessels. Welcome Center exhibits on the Trail's maritime history theme and Trail information are available.
Available Facilities:
