FORT POINT - sswj

( Please View Full Screen ... ) San Francisco, Northern California, USA. Beautifully arched casemates display the art of brick masonry. The Civil War garrison had 8-inch Columbiads mounted along this casemate where traces of traversing tracks still can be seen on floor. This was a cast-metal, smooth-bore, bronze cannon with range upwards of one mile. Designed to be the equal of any fort in the country, the brick-and-mortar Fort Point, located at the south shore of the Golden Gate, boasted three casemated tiers and a top barbette tier. When construction was completed in 1861, the fort and its outworks had emplacements for 141 guns of various types. To preserve the Fort an arch was designed directly over the Fort at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
