The two-day battle was fought in order to secure control of Port Royal Bay and establish American control over the Port of Savannah, which had been the key site of blockade runners and was a port where supplies from Venezuela and Brazil could still reach the Confederacy.

  • The Battle of Hilton Head, also called the Battle of Port Royal Bay, was a naval engagement in September of 1914 (September 11-12) between the United States Navy and the Confederate and Mexican Navies off of the coast of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The two-day battle was fought in order to secure control of Port Royal Bay and establish American control over the Port of Savannah, which had been the key site of blockade runners and was a port where supplies from Venezuela and Brazil could still reach the Confederacy. The battle was one of the most vicious and destructive naval engagements in the history of warfare, with thirty-one ships destroyed and nearly 20,000 men killed and an additional 22,000 casualties in the course of three days. It was the most devastating naval battle in the war and was the bloodiest battle in the American Theater. The bulk of losses were by ships of the poorly-constructed Mexican Navy, particularly when three ships were sunk in deep waters two miles from the main engagement.
