| Video Discription | Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island, is a National Historic Landmark. As described in the brochure by the Fort Adams Trust, it is the “largest coastal fortification in the United States built between 1824-1957, active through WWII and designed to mount 468 cannons and house 2400 troops and commands the entrance to Newport Harbor and the Narraganset Bay. In this video, our guide leads us to view the cannons and describes how they were loaded and fired. He then takes us up to the North Wall showing the strategic position of the Fort with a view of Narraganset Bay and Newport Harbor. The Naval Academy was located here for a short time during the Civil War. Now, across the water is the Naval War College. Next, in Part 4, the final video, we learn about the hot cannon balls, the tunnels, the listening tunnels and the architecture of Fort Adams. See: www.fortadams.org Dlj_ZEdmkjk |
