The Battle of Port Royal took place on November 7, 1861, during the American Civil War, when Union forces launched an assault on the Confederate-held port of Port Royal, South Carolina. The Union navy, under the command of Flag Officer Samuel F. Du Pont, conducted a naval bombardment, which effectively neutralized the Confederate defenses. This led to the capture of the port and its surrounding areas, providing the Union with a strategic foothold in the South and facilitating further military operations in the region. The battle marked one of the early significant naval victories for the Union.
