General in Chief George B. McClellan directed the largest amphibious operation of its kind in January of 1862. Under the command of General Ambrose Burnside, 13,000 troops left Annapolis, Maryland and connected with a US naval fleet of 20 gunboats under the command of Louis Goldsborough. In early February, Burnside's troops were shielded by the navy gunboats and captured Roanoke Island off the North Carolina coast. Burnside's troops were then able to capture New Bern, which was the town on the Atlantic coast where the second largest harbor in North Carolina was located. Wilmington being the larger one.
