Fort Independence - Castle Island
Built 1802 - Rebuilt 1848 - Declared Surplus 1960Castle Island history
Mike Casale says: "I was not allowed to walk past a bunji-cord barrier at the entrance of the fort's sally port. Guided tours are given but I was in the city primarily for business and the cab ride out to the fort and the Revolutionary War site on Dorchester Heights was $35, so never got the chance to go back and take it. There is a fake cannon on one of the parapets, but I could not get it in the shot." JULY 2001
