Forts, Fortresses and Fortifications
Interactive Map of my Visits
Also be sure to see the Travel/Geography Blog
I am a travel collector of varied interests. Over time I noticed that I'd visited a number of fortifications, primarily the large masonry coastal forts built by the United States during the first half of the Nineteenth Century, but to several other places as well. This page provides a convenient set of quick links to many of the forts I discussed in greater detail elsewhere on the website.
