Abandoned Louisiana Island Fort With Cannons | Battery Bienvenue | Beyond Civilization

Abandoned Louisiana Island Fort With Original Cannons | Battery Bienvenue | Beyond Civilization #civilwar #history #louisiana Hidden deep in the Louisiana marsh, Battery Bienvenue is an abandoned island fortress with old brick walls, thick swamp growth, and original cannons still sitting in place. In this video, we travel by boat through the marsh near New Orleans to explore Battery Bienvenue. This lost coastal gun battery was built after the War of 1812 to help protect routes into New Orleans. The ruins still hold old walls, cannon mounts, hidden metal pieces, and one of the original guns. We search through mud, brush, and swamp terrain to find the cannon, check its markings, and explore an old brick chamber that may have been used for military storage or ammunition. If you enjoy abandoned forts, Louisiana history, Civil War history, War of 1812 sites, swamp exploration, and hidden relics, this video takes you inside one of the most forgotten places near New Orleans.
