Fort King Fort King ( also known as Camp King or Cantonment King ) was a United States military fort in north central Florida . It was named after Colonel William King , commander of Florida ' s Fourth Infantry and the first governor of the provisional West Florida region . The fort was built in 1827 , and became the genesis of the city of Ocala . Located near the corner of East Fort King Street and 39th Avenue in Ocala , the site is a U . S . National Historic Landmark ( designated as such on February 24 , 2004 ) . History . Prehistory . Archaeological investigations have indicated that the area was inhabited prior to the arrival of the Spanish in the area . At least two periods of occupation have been identified : between 6500 and 2000 B . C . , and 200 to 1500 A . D . The fort . Fort King was constructed in 1827 as a buffer between the Seminoles ( to the south in the Moultrie Creek Treaty reservation area ) and whites settling in the region . It sat at the nexus of a system of military roads . From the fort , one could travel easily ( for the era ) on the Fort King Road to Fort Brooks ( near Orange Springs ) , Fort McCoy , a ford at the St . Johns River which would become the town of Astor , Palatka , Jacksonville , and Fort Brooke ( on Tampa Bay ) , amongst others . It subsequently fell into disuse after 1829 . In 1832 , the fort was active again to help in the relocation of the Seminoles westward as part of the Treaty of Payne ' s Landing . The Second Seminole War , beginning in 1835 , made the fort one of the most important during the next seven years , due to its strategic location . Abandoned for nearly a year between mid - 1836 to early 1837 after the Seminoles burned it , the fort still remained functional until the war ' s end in 1842 . After the founding of Marion County , the fort became its first courthouse in 1844 . Eventually , though , the building was abandoned for the last time , and the fort deconstructed to provide building material for the early residents . Recent . Today there are no signs of the fort , and the site is 37 acres of undeveloped , vacant land , in the middle of a residential area . Three historical markers exist , one Memorial Marker near the Fort Site , one National Historic Landmark near the approximate location of the fort itself , the other at the old Fort Cemetery Site for the Fort . The site is owned by the City of Ocala and Marion County . 2013 Fort King Heritage Association has been formed to Develop , Promote & Protect the site . See : fkha . org

German submarine U - 254 German submarine " U - 254 " was a Type VIIC U - boat of the German " Kriegsmarine " , built for service in the Second World War and the Battle of the Atlantic . She was a mildly successful boat which carried out three war patrols , but fell victim to a freak accident during an attack on an Allied convoy in the mid - Atlantic Ocean on her third patrol and was lost . Built in 1941 at Vegesack , " U - 254 " was commanded for all her brief career by " Kapitänleutnant " Hans Gilardone , except for a brief period of illness , when " Kptlt . " Odo Loewe took command for her second patrol . She conducted her warm - up and training period in the Baltic Sea in the first half of 1942 , before she was despatched to Kiel from where she participated in her first war operations . Operational career . 1st patrol . Her first war patrol was a simple one , entailing a passage between Kiel and her new home base in Brest in occupied France . During this month - long journey , " U - 254 " was ordered to spend sometime cruising off Reykjavík , Iceland , hoping to catch some stragglers from northern convoys or supply ships running to the Allied forces stationed on the island . She had one success , sinking a small British freighter on 2 August before she headed for her new home . 2nd patrol . Her second patrol was more eventful , when on 3 October , after twelve days of cruising , she spotted the 11 , 000 ton American tanker SS " Robert H . Colley " in the central North Atlantic and sank her with one torpedo , killing 28 . This was followed six days later by another success in a similar area , when the 6 , 000 ton British ship SS " Pennington Court " was sunk by three torpedoes with all 40 sailors on board . The promising career of " U - 254 " was almost cut short on this cruise , when the Norwegian Flower class corvette damaged her with depth charges during an attack on a convoy in the same area as her previous victories . 3rd patrol . After repairs , " U - 254 " departed in late November 1942 , returning to her old operating grounds of the North Atlantic routes . In December , the weather in the region is atrocious and visibility practically nil , so as " U - 254 " manoeuvered to attack Convoy HX - 217 , to which she had been directed on 8 December , it is perhaps unsurprising that her crew failed to see come steaming out of the gloom and straight into her broadside . The two submarines had become lost in the dark and collided with one another in a freak accident , which claimed 41 of " U - 254 " s crew , who were spilled into the ocean as the boat heeled over and sank . Sailors from " U - 221 " dived into the turbulent sea tied to ropes , and succeeded in rescuing four bedraggled survivors of the sinking . " U - 221 " was badly damaged . Unable to dive , " Oberleutnant " Trojer aborted the patrol and returned to St . Nazaire , France .
