What military fort in Maine is now a park accessible only by boat and is within site of Willard Beach?
Fort Gorges Fort Gorges is a former United States military fort built on Hog Island Ledge in Casco Bay, Maine. Built from 1858 to 1864, no battles were fought there and no troops were stationed there. Advancing military technology, including iron clad ships and long range guns, made the fort obsolete before it could be used. The fort is now a park, accessible only by boat. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Fort Greene (Rhode Island) Fort Greene may refer to either of two locations in Rhode Island. The first was a small fort built circa 1794 at Battery Park in the Point section of Newport, last active in the War of 1812. The second is a United States Army Reserve installation in the Point Judith area of Narragansett, Rhode Island. During World War II this was a coastal defense fort, and together with Fort Church in Little Compton, it superseded all previous heavy gun defenses in the Harbor Defenses of Narragansett Bay. Both forts were named for General Nathanael Greene of the Revolutionary War, who was born in Rhode Island.
