Port of Apalachicola

The Port of Apalachicola was of primary strategic importance during the United States Civil War.

Union forces established a blockade of the port on 11 June 1861, with the USS Montgomery.

At times, the blockade employed a squadron of three or more vessels in the area.

[1] The port continued to change hands repeatedly throughout the war, usually without serious conflict.
