BOLO Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted March 1, 2009 Fort Point was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1853 and 1861 to prevent entrance of a hostile fleet into San Francisco Bay. The fort was designed to mount 126 massive cannon. Rushed to completion at the beginning of the Civil War, Fort Point was first garrisoned in February of 1861 by Company I, 3rd U.S. Artillery Regiment. The fort was occupied throughout the Civil War, but the advent of faster, more powerful rifled cannon made brick forts such as Fort Point obsolete. In 1886 the troops were withdrawn, and the last cannon were removed about 1900. The fort was then used for storage and training purposes for many years. Between 1933 and 1937 the fort was used as a base of operations for the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. During World War II, Fort Point was occupied by about 100 soldiers who manned searchlights and rapid-fire cannon mounted atop the fort as part of the protection of a submarine net strung across the entrance to the Bay. Fort Point is the only third system brick fort on the west coast of the United States. It became a National Historic Site on October 16th, 1970.

gwb123 Posted March 1, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks! I'd love to get out to Fort Point one of these days. I've driven over it on the bridge, and I had a chance to drive through the Presidio when it was still an active post, but I did not get down to the Fort.

Dirk Posted March 1, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 1, 2009 Interesting menu. It looks like dinner was a lighter meal than it is today and breakfast and lunch was much more substantial. I wonder when our eating habits changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotlead Posted March 4, 2009 Share #9 Posted March 4, 2009 Interesting menu. It looks like dinner was a lighter meal than it is today and breakfast and lunch was much more substantial. I wonder when our eating habits changed. When we all started working far away from home, running out the door and driving an hour and a half through commute traffic to sit in an office all day. We don't get up and have breakfast with our families, see the kids off to school and head out to the barn to hook up the team, or fire up the forge anymore But in exchange we have electric lights, hot and cold running water, and flush toilets inside the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
