Fort Duvall, Military fortification in Hull, Massachusetts, United States
Fort Duvall extends along the coast with strategic positioning at coordinates 42.3001 latitude and -70.8959 longitude, incorporating defensive structures against maritime threats.
The United States government acquired Hog Island in 1917 and began construction of Fort Duvall in the 1920s as part of Boston Harbor's defense network.
This military installation received its name in honor of Major General William Penn Duvall, who demonstrated exceptional service in the Philippines.
The fort contained Battery Long with two 16-inch guns, which maintained surveillance over a wide arc from Gloucester to Plymouth and into the sea.
Fort Duvall operated one of only seven deployed 16-inch gun M1919 models in the United States military defense system during its active period.
