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.
