Governor's Island, Pt. 3

I've put all these pictures on a separate page.

I'm off to Spain until 10/13 so postings
will be sparse. I won't be posting any pics
of Spain when I get back either. Digital
cameras just aren't for traveling longer than
a weekend. Instead I'll be using my trusted
Olympus XA, still my favorite small camera.

Governor's Island Pt. 2

 
Thursday, October 02, 2003

 

Last weekend I went on a tour of Govenor's
Island, which has just been opened up for
public tours run by the National Park Service.

Looking at the Island from the S.I. Ferry,
I'd always been curious as to what was out
there. Here are some pictures [with more
to follow tomorrow and thursday].

Exterior of Fort Jay, a star-shapped fort on the
high point of the Island. The fort dates from the
1790s and was a big reason why the British didn't
invate New York during the war of 1812.

After the Civil War when the fort was no longer
used for defense, the turned the interior into homes
for Army Officers stationed on the base. It's a little
strange to see this quaint domestic row of homes
inside of this old military fort.
