Fort Brewerton

Fort Brewerton is a historic fort site located at Brewerton in Oswego County, New York. It is the site of a fort that originally was in the form of an eight-pointed star with sixteen 30-foot (9.1 m) faces surrounded by a 10-foot (3.0 m) moat. The 480-foot-long (150 m) parapet had earth walls 5 feet (1.5 m) high from which projected log palisades. Within the parapet were four log blockhouses, smaller buildings for munitions and supplies, and wells. It was erected in 1759 to defend the passage from Albany to the port of Oswego. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The Fort Brewerton Historical Society operates the Oliver Stevens Blockhouse Museum, with excavated artifacts and exhibits about the fort and area history. The museum is a log reconstruction of a late 18th-century log block house that was located on the site. The museum is open 12-4pm on the third Saturday of each month from April through December as well as special events. Private tours are available by request.

Fort Clinton (Central Park)

Fort Clinton was a stone-and-earthworks fortification on an elevation within what is now Central Park in New York City. It was built in 1814 near the present line of 107th Street, slightly west of Fifth Avenue. According to maps of the time, Fort Clinton was the easternmost of a connected series of forts, connected to Nutter's Battery on the west by earthworks and a gatehouse over the Old Post Road at the bottom of McGowan's Pass. Fort Clinton and Nutter's Battery were commanded from a third fort at the top of the pass, Fort Fish, which had a sweeping view of Long Island Sound, northern Manhattan, and Westchester County. Fort Fish was across the road from Fort Clinton and connected to Nutter's Battery by another line of earthworks. The fort was named after DeWitt Clinton, a mayor of New York City. Previously, during the American Revolution, the site had been a redoubt used by British and Hessian soldiers to protect McGowan's Pass during their occupation of New York City from 1776 to 1783. A memorial consisting of a commemorative plaque and two cannons surrounded by benches and a flagpole now occupies the site. See also Blockhouse No. 1 References

Fort Decker

"Fort Decker" is a stone house built in 1793 from the remains of the fort of that name. It is located on West Main Street in Port Jervis, New York, United States, the oldest building in that city, which it predates by several decades. The original Fort Decker was built by a Frederick Haynes, a Dutch settler, sometime before 1760, during the French and Indian War, as an unofficial defense and trading post. It was one and a half stories high, built of stone and overlapping logs. Haynes left the area for New Jersey around 1775, leaving the fort to his wife's family, the Deckers. The fort is named for Lt. Martinus Decker, great grandson of Jan Gerritsen Decker, the first Decker to live in the Minisink Valley. On July 19, 1779, during the Revolutionary War, when the settlement was known as "Peenpack", the fort was burned during a raid by pro-British Native American leader Joseph Brant. When survivors brought news of the disaster to Goshen, the Patriot attempt to retaliate led to a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Minisink, the only major engagement of the war in the upper Delaware Valley. The current house was built from the remains of the fort in 1793. In 1826, it would house engineers working on the Delaware and Hudson Canal, including John Jervis, whom the city would later be renamed for. It remained in private hands as a residence from then on. In 1903, newspapers reported that the original roof was being removed, and in 1924 the building suffered partial damage from a fire. As early as the 1880s, there had been interest in using the structure as a museum. This did not become possible until 1958, when the Minisink Valley Historical Society bought it for $1,000 and converted it into a museum. In 1974 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the first of three buildings in Port Jervis to attain that distinction, the others being the Erie Depot and the Post Office.

Fort Hamilton

Fort Hamilton är en militärbas belägen vid landfästet av Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge i stadsdelen Brooklyn i staden New York. Anläggningen namngavs efter Alexander Hamilton och uppfördes mellan 1825 och 1831 (med tillbyggnader kring 1870 och 1900) och är strategiskt belägen för att med kustartilleri skydda inloppet (The Narrows) till stadens hamnar och Hudsonfloden. De sista kustartilleripjäserna togs bort 1948 då de efter andra världskriget ansågs obsoleta. Fram till 1960-talet fanns även Fort Lafayette längre ned mot vattnet som därefter revs för brobygget. Värdförbandet är Military District of Washington och verksamheten innefattar stöd i New Yorks storstadsområde för reservförband i arméreserven och arménationalgardet, samt regionkontoren i New York för United States Army Corps of Engineers och United States Military Entrance Processing Command. Fort Hamilton är den enda kvarstående militära anläggningen tillhörande USA:s försvarsdepartement innanför stadens gränser.

Fort Massapeag Archeological Site

Fort Massapeag Archeological Site is a historic archaeological site at Sunset Park in Massapequa, New York. It is believed to be the site of a New Netherland trading post built in the mid-17th century to facilitate trade with local Native Americans, and possibly serve as a wampum factory. It was first excavated in the 1930s by a team including Ralph Solecki. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993. History In 1656, Peter Stuyvesant, the director of the New Netherland colony (now New York City) signed an agreement with Lenape chief Tackapausha, which included a provision that the Dutch would construct "A howse or A forte" for trade with Natives residing on Long Island. Ralph Solecki, a professional archaeologist with a long interest in this site, believes this site to be the fortified trading post that was then built. The trading post remained in operation until the Dutch turned New Netherland over to the British in 1664, and the land was sold by the Lenape to English settlers in 1694. The area has long been known as "Fort Neck", and many people believed the remnant fortifications to be of Native construction, and possibly the site of a conflict between the English and Natives. The area came to the attention of archaeologists in the 1930s, when the Harbor Green development began, uncovering graves of Native Americans and the site of a village, which was destroyed in the process. The fort site itself was already well known to local collectors, and was significantly compromised by their activities. Solecki participated in an early excavation of the site, which formed the basis of his eventual doctoral dissertation. The site was preserved from development and turned into what is now Sunset Park; a sign commemorating its significance stands near the junction of Fairfax and Gloucester Roads.

Fort Niagara Light

Fort Niagara Light is an inactive lighthouse on the Niagara River on the south shore of Lake Ontario in New York state. It is located on the grounds of Fort Niagara. This light house is complimented by two range lights in Niagara-on-the-Lake built on 1904. History The lighthouse was established in 1782 atop the "French Castle", a structure still located within Old Fort Niagara. The current tower was first lit in 1872, having been removed from the French Castle to allow for more room for officer's quarters. The light was deactivated in 1996 and was replaced by a light beacon at the US Coast Guard Station Niagara. The foundation was natural/emplaced and the lighthouse was constructed out of limestone with a brick lining. The tower is octagonal in shape with a black lantern. The original lens was a fourth order Fresnel lens installed in 1859 National Register Status: LISTED; Reference #84002809 Name of Listing: FORT NIAGARA LIGHT (U.S. COAST GUARD/GREAT LAKES TR) Part of Old Fort Niagara National Historic Landmark; First two towers constructed on the fort; Third (current) tower constructed south of fort; Tower replaced by modern beacon in order to save trees obstructing lantern in 1993.

Маяк Форт-Ниагара

Маяк Форт-Ниагара (англ. Fort Niagara Light) — маяк, расположенный в устье реки Ниагара на правом берегу в черте города Янгстаун, округ Ниагара, штат Нью-Йорк, США. Построен в 1872 году. Деактивирован в 1993 году. История Район впадения реки Ниагара в озеро Онтарио приобрёл важное значение для торговцев ещё во времена французской колонизации в 1600-х годах. Ниагарский водопад разделил путь, по которому мех доставлялся в Европу на 2 части: большие суда не могли преодолеть водопад, потому до него торговцы добирались на небольших лодках. Устье реки Ниагара стало традиционным местом погрузки товара на более крупные суда для дальнейшей транспортировки. В 1726 году в устье французы построили «Французский замок» (англ. French Castle), также известный как «форт Ниагара» (англ. Fort Niagara). Во время Семилетней войны британцы захватили форт в 1759 году. Из-за увеличивающегося трафика британцы установили маяк на крышу форта в 1781 году. После войны за независимость США форт оказался на границе между США и британской Канадой. Потому уже 7 мая 1822 года Конгресс США выделил 1 000$, а 3 марта 1823 года — ещё 1 500$ на строительство маяка в форте Ниагара. Башню маяка в целях экономии установили прямо на крыше столовой форта. В 1825 году было завершено строительство канала Эри, и поток судов в устье реки Ниагара начал уменьшаться. В 1855 году маяк форта пострадал от урагана. В 1857 году на него была установлена линза Френеля. В 1871 году Конгресс выделил 16 000$ на строительство нового отдельного здания маяка. Работы были завершены 10 июня 1872 года. Новый маяк представлял собой восьмиугольную башню из известняка высотой 15,5 метров, к которой сбоку примыкал одноэтажный дом смотрителя, также выполненный из известняка. Линзу Френеля перенесли из форта в новую башню. В 1900 году высота башни была увеличена на 3,5 метра. В 1905 году была построена небольшая котельная. Со временем деревья вокруг здания нового маяка выросли, и его свет стал менее заметным для кораблей. Вместо того, чтобы вырубать около 50 деревьев, Береговая охрана США вывела маяк из эксплуатации в 1993 году, заменив его автоматическим неподалёку. Линза Френеля, стоявшая на маяке, с 1995 года выставлена в экспозиции музея в бывшем форте Ниагара. В 1984 году маяк был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Примечания

Fort Wadsworth

Fort Wadsworth (pron. fɔ:t 'wɔdzwɛ:θ) è una fortificazione militare non più in uso situata a New York nel borough di Staten Island. È situata di fronte al The Narrows, uno stretto attraversato dal ponte di Verrazzano. Fa parte della "Staten Island Unit" della Gateway National Recreation Area, gestita dal National Park Service. La maratona di New York, che attraversa tutti i cinque borghi di New York, parte da Fort Wadsworth, dove inizia il ponte di Verrazzano. Fino alla sua chiusura nel 1994, sosteneva di essere l'installazione militare continuamente attiva per più tempo degli Stati Uniti. Suddivisa in più unità, tra cui Fort Tompkins e Fort Richmond, il nome attuale fu adottato nel 1865 in onore del generale James Wadsworth, caduto in battaglia in Virginia durante la Guerra civile americana. Dal 2007 il forte ospita una base della Guardia costiera degli Stati Uniti. Molti edifici sono occupati da reparti della United States Army Reserve ed alcuni ospitano uffici amministrativi del National Park Service. La visita di Fort Wadsworth è consentita solamente a gruppi accompagnati da una guida. Il punto più alto è un ottimo punto di osservazione per viste panoramiche verso la baia di New York, Brooklyn e Manhattan.
