Fort Saulsbury, Coastal defense fort in Slaughter Beach, United States.
Fort Saulsbury contains two batteries, Hall and Haslet, each originally equipped with two 12-inch guns positioned along the Delaware coastline.
The military installation operated from 1924 to 1943 as the main heavy gun defense system within the Harbor Defenses of Delaware.
The fort received its name from Willard Saulsbury Sr, a Delaware US Senator, while its batteries commemorate Revolutionary War officers Hall and Haslet.
The fort remains under private ownership since 1948, requiring interested visitors to contact the Delaware Historical Society for information and documentation.
Five fire control towers supported artillery operations during World War II, with only one tower remaining standing in the present day.
