View More Southport Area Pictures>>> 140th Anniversary of the Fall of Fort Anderson February 19th and 20th of 2005 marked the 140th anniversary of the Fall of Fort Anderson which ultimately led to the demise of the port of Wilmington, North Carolina and ultimately the end of the Civil War. A large crowd of onlookers witnessed a spectacular reenactment of the final battle at Fort Anderson. Period uniforms, cannons and the smell of burning gun powder lent authenticity to the reenactment. The weekend was rounded out by guest speakers Dr. Max Williams of Western Carolina University and Dr. Chris Fonvielle of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNC-Wilmington). Sunday morning church service was held in the ruins of St. Philips Church with its rich history dating back to 1754.
