Summary

Description
English: Undated photo of Fort Jefferson — located in the Gulf of Mexico about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida.
  • The walkway from the boats leads into the Sally Port, the entrance to Fort Jefferson. Just above the Sally Port entrance is the casemate, or gun room, where Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, Edman Spangler, Samuel Arnold, and Michael O'Laughlen lived while imprisoned at Fort Jefferson.
  • Note the six projections, or bastions, at the six corners of the fort. The ground level gun room in the bastion to the left of the Sally Port is the 'dungeon' where Dr. Mudd, Spangler, Arnold, O'Laughlen, and George St. Leger Grenfell were confined for three months following Dr. Mudd's unsuccessful escape attempt in September 1865.
