Key West Beach Information the Fort
|
A collection of different 10"
cannons
A view down the arches inside
the fort wall facing the ocean
each room had it's own 10"
cannon. With three levels and
a total of 198 guns that a lot
of fire power.

courtyard of fort
A view of the outside south wall


What you see now is just a small glimpse of what the fort looked like during it
hay day.
It was then three stories high now only one. With cannons on all three. From
what I have
been told the Navy took off the top two stories during World War II so they
could mount
radar on it, and the top stories where too unstable to support it.
