Description
Casco Bay Portland Harbor Maine by Debra Martz Storm clouds were building on this October day but light was finding its way through, highlighting the historic fort and moored boats. One of Maine's most iconic coastal structures, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, 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 ironclad ships and long-range guns, made the fort obsolete before it could be used. The fort is now a park, accessible only by boat.
