On the mainland, the Navy Yard was surrendered intact to Confederate forces on April 12, 1861, but Fort Pickens remained under control of Union forces throughout the Civil War. By mid-1862 many Union and Confederate dead were interred in the Barrancas cemetery. As the war continued, the remains of other casualties were brought here for burial. On Jan. 30, 1868, the cemetery was transferred to the War Department to become Barrancas National Cemetery.
