  • The Battle of Fort Brooke was a minor engagement fought October 16–18, 1863, near Tampa, Florida, during the American Civil War. Two Union Navy ships, USS Tahoma and USS Adela, bombarded Fort Brooke on October 16, 1863, as a diversion, while a landing party under Acting Master T.R. Harris disembarked at Ballast Point and marched 14 miles to the Hillsborough River to capture several enemy steamers. Harris and his men surprised and burned the blockade runner Scottish Chief and the sloop Kate Dale a few miles up the river near the site of today's Lowry Park Zoo. The Confederate defenders destroyed the steamer A.B. Noyes to preclude her capture. On its way back to the ship, Harris's force was surprised by a detachment of the garrison, the 2nd Florida Infantry Battalion, causing casualties in a brief but sharp exchange before the Union troops returned to sea.
  • De Slag om Fort Brooke vond plaats tussen 16 oktober en 18 oktober 1863 bij Tampa, Florida tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Twee Noordelijke schepen, de USS Tahoma en de USS Adela bombardeerden op 16 oktober 1863 Fort Brooke om de aandacht af te leiden van de landing van troepen onder leiding van T.R. Harris bij Ballast Point. Daar marcheerden de gelande troepen 20 km naar de Hillsborough River waar ze verschillende Zuidelijke stoomschepen veroverden. De Scottisch Chief en de Kate Dale werden veroverd. De A.B. Noyes werd door de Zuidelijken zelf vernietigd om niet in vijandelijke handen te vallen. Op de terugweg werd Harris’s eenheid verrast door een verrassingsaanval van een detachement van het garnizoen van het fort.
