Features
• The map is 16 feet long and encompasses the Federal Point peninsula as it appeared in 1865—with three-dimensional models of Fort Fisher and Battery Buchanan.


• Nine minutes of narration and 5,000 colored moving lights illustrate the final bloody hours of Fort Fisher: the Union naval bombardment, the amphibious landing on Federal Point, the Union ground attack, the Confederate surrender at Battery Buchanan, and the Union victory celebration.


• The narration is enhanced by exciting sound effects, and features commentary from combatants of both sides.
