APRIL 28TH, 1862: Forts Jackson and St. Philip, isolated since being passed by Flag Officer Farragut's fleet and the fall of New Orleans, surrendered to the Navy; the terms of capitulation were signed on board the USS Harriet Lane, Commander David Dixon Porter's flagship.
The CSS Louisiana, Defiance and McRae were destroyed to prevent their capture.
