Pittman's Ferry was a town in Atlantis. During the Atlantean War of Independence, it was occupied by British troops. That fort was the third to fall to General Victor Radcliff's winter campaign. Initially, Radcliff feared that the fort would be difficult, as British picketers had seen the Atlanteans approach, and some were able to escape and warn the fort's captain. However, the captain ignored them, refusing to believe that any campaigning would take place during the winter. With Pittman's Ferry in Atlantean hands, Radcliff had a clear path to the sea.
