Summary
[edit]DescriptionFort Popham (13216215743).jpg |
Fort Popham taken from across Baypoint Road on a rather blah day. I will return some morning when the sky is blue and the trees are green. Fort Popham is a coastal defense land battery at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Phippsburg, Maine. It is located in sight of the short-lived Popham Colony and, like the colony, named for George Popham, the colony's leader. During the American Revolution a minor fortification stood on this site; in 1808 the federal government built a small battery derisively known as an "embargo fort" on this location as part of the second system of fortifications that guarded the coast. It remained manned until 1815 and saw minor action during the War of 1812. Construction of Fort Popham was authorized in 1857 but did not begin until 1861. The fort was built from granite blocks quarried on nearby Fox and Dix islands. It had a 30-foot (9 m)-high wall facing the mouth of the Kennebec River and was built in a crescent shape, measuring approximately 500 feet (150 m) in circumference. Fort Popham's armament consisted of 36 Rodman guns and some 10 inch Parrott rifles arranged in two tiers of vaulted casements.One of the Rodman guns was donated to the town of Bowdoinham to remember its soldiers who died in the civil war.The cannon is still there.A single Parrott rifle sits near the fort grounds. The back side of Fort Popham was built with a low moated curtain containing a central gate and 20 musket ports. (Wikipedia) |
