Fort Nelson (Virginia)
Fort Nelson was a fort located on what is currently the site of Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fortnelson.vadar.org/ftnelson/ftnelson.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMPQC_Fort_Nelson )〕 Late in 1776, Virginia's Revolutionary government constructed the fort of timber and rammed earth.〔http://dhr.virginia.gov/HistoricMarkers/〕 Three years later, the British fleet commanded by Admiral Sir George Collier confiscated its artillery and supplies and destroyed most of the parapet.〔http://dhr.virginia.gov/HistoricMarkers/〕 In 1779-1781, both Lord Cornwallis and General Benedict Arnold occupied the fort.〔http://dhr.virginia.gov/HistoricMarkers/〕 The fort was reconstructed in 1799 of earth lined with brick, following a design by architect B. Henry Latrobe, and abandoned after the War of 1812.〔http://dhr.virginia.gov/HistoricMarkers/〕 During the Civil War, the Confederate government strengthened Fort Nelson.〔http://dhr.virginia.gov/HistoricMarkers/〕 However, Fort Nelson came under Federal control on 10 May 1862, when the Union army, under the leadership of General John E. Wool, occupied Norfolk.〔http://dhr.virginia.gov/HistoricMarkers/〕
