Two Forts Taken From the Fleet at Hilton Head
From Fort Monroe dated November 12 the Enquirer cites a rebel report of fortifications on Hilton Head and Bay Point. Fort Walker and Fort Beaugard faced a Union fleet of 42 ships entering Port Royal, the bombardment lasting from early morning until evening with several vessels passing the batteries. The engagement caused heavy enemy losses while Union ships avoided sinking. Tatnall’s gunboats and shore batteries mounted strong defenses, and Beaufort was reported as the likely landing target with the rebels claiming poor Union artillery practice.
