Fort Crafford along the James River, as depicted in this Sidney King painting. Toward the top portion of the fort nearest the river, the battery depicted represents the supposed location of the Mulberry Island Point Battery, which has yet to be discovered by historians and archaeologists. Together, Fort Crafford and the Mulberry Island Point Battery defended against Union forces making a land-based or naval offensive on the Peninsula on their way toward the Confederate capital of Richmond, 50 miles to the northwest.
