Description
Sometimes this very important Fort is missed because all eyes are on the Gold Gate Bridge. When standing on the bridge, you can see a glimpse of Fort Point below.
Fort Point is a masonry seacoast fortification located at the southern side of the Golden Gate at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. This fort has guarded the Golden Gate since the Civil War. This fort was completed just before the American Civil War by the United States Army, to defend San Francisco Bay against hostile warships. The fort is now protected as Fort Point National Historic Site, a United States National Historic Site administered by the National Park Service as a unit of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. For this and more information see sites: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Point,_San_Francisco) and (http://www.presidio.gov/explore/Pages/fort-point.aspx.). Emmy Vickers.
