Antique map ''The United States Navy Yard. Pensacola Bay, Fla. Santa Rosa Island, and the Gulf of Mexico and Bay Forts''. This very attractive old map features the south Pensacola area during the Civil War, showing Fort McRae, Fort St. Carlos de Barrancas ( Barancas ), and Fort Pickens, barracks, marine hospital, cemetery, and U.S.Navy Yard. Shows the nearby communities of Warrington and Woolsey and a single road following the coastline to Pensacola.
Cartography after an earlier 1861 map published in Harper's Weekly. This later, updated map shows the Marine Hospital built in 1870. Source is Frank Leslie's The Soldier in our Civil War, one of the most lavish pictorial histories of the Civil War ever published.
The Pensacola Navy Yard was a shipyard at the site of present-day Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola. Originally constructed in 1826, it was decommissioned in 1911. The site was reopened three years later as Naval Air Station Pensacola.
