The Fort was built with a moat and its Location meant that it was unable to reach by any means other then boat. This meant that, During the second civil war it became Prisoner of war Prison for Confederates (Including most of the troops captured at Gettysburg). The Fort was not made to hold such large number's of prisoner's, And so (Even after they started building wooden barracks around the island). Many Fights took place among prisoners, there was food shortages, and as a result. Whilst Fort Delaware housed 40'000 prisoners in its lifetime, a total of 2'900 prisoners died at the fort. After the Civil War, and after the prisoners had all been released. The Fort was used to organise the Ahl's Heavy Artillery Company.

In 1947 the US Government declared that Fort Delaware and Pea Patch Island, would be a national park, And so the fort and the island have been preserved perfectly. The Fort is Expectedly haunted.
