Fort Strong, Military fort in Boston Harbor, US
Fort Strong occupies the northern section of Long Island in Boston Harbor, featuring concrete gun batteries and military structures along the coastline.
The fort started as Camp Wightman during the Civil War in 1861 and received its current name in 1899 to honor Major General George C Strong.
The military installation represents the Endicott period of American coastal defense architecture, with extensive underground passages and observation points.
The fort remains closed to visitors since 2014 due to the demolition of the connecting bridge and current safety restrictions.
The fort maintained a submarine mine station before World War I, operated by more than 1,000 soldiers to protect Boston Harbor.
