Ft Barrancas

Today we visited Ft Barrancas, located on the Naval Air Station in Pensacola. It is one of the system of forts built in the US in the 1800's to protect the Coast of the United States. These pictures are of the fort.




We walked to the top and could see the pass where enemy ships would have to pass.


Actually, the first time it was used was as a Confederate Fort during the Civil War The top of the fort where guns pointed out towards the Gulf of Mexico.
