			Welcome to my website. This site has been created so that I can share the history and current conditions of as many Coastal Defense Sites within the New England States. This site was not created as a field guide or travel guide. I do not recommend most people visit the places shown on this site out of respect for private owners or from a safety standpoint. Over the last 80+ years that these sites have been abandonded, deffered maintenence and general deterioation have taken a toll on the structures. Unstable floors and celings are two major issues that can be found at almost every site. Hazardous materials (i.e; asbestos, lead paint) can also be found at most sites as well. Proper PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) should be used when near former Coastal Defense sites.

	~~'''General:'''~~		The photos I take are hardly edited so much of the graffiti that now covers the walls of many forts can be seen in my photos. A lot of this graffiti is profane and outright disgusting but its what you get when you leave blank concrete walls unsupervised. I do not in any way condone the use of spray paint to deface fortifications and I find it exteremly disrespectful that people not only spray paint on someone elses property, but the deface important military sites. Vandalisim and littering are also big no-nos.
	~~Welcome to~~ the ~~New England Defenses website, dedicated to documenting~~ the ~~historical richness~~ of ~~New England's~~ forts~~, including gun batteries, fort fire control towers, and more~~. ~~Please note that the information here~~ is ~~on the Coast Defense period which technically starts in the 1790s~~ but ~~I prefer to showcase some of the newer installations that don't~~ get ~~as much attention as colonial-era fortifications. All documents presented here are either public records or obtainable through official channels, which we're happy to assist~~ you ~~with~~. ~~We uphold~~ the ~~highest standards~~ of ~~legality~~ and ~~ethics~~, ~~ensuring no classified government documents are featured. It's essential to emphasize that accessing these~~ sites ~~without explicit permission constitutes trespassing and is a punishable offense~~. ~~New England Defenses is independently operated by Julian Malcolm, prioritizing historical preservation~~ and ~~public safety. For inquiries, contributors can be contacted via their respective user pages, dedicated solely to matters concerning this website~~.

	~~''' Safety:'''~~		The sources in which I get my information are sources I find to be reliable. Any source I find out later is unreliable, will be removed from the page in which the information recieved from it sits. Much of the information I present is from the Coast Defense Study Group (CDSG) and its members. I am a member of the CDSG but this site IS NOT affiliated with the CDSG or any organization for that matter.
	~~Exploring coastal defense sites carries inherent risks, particularly for those lacking adequate preparation or knowledge of site conditions.~~ The ~~precarious state of many locations underscores the importance of caution and expertise~~. ~~We strongly advise against inexperienced individuals venturing into these areas~~, ~~as deterioration and hazards pose significant threats, potentially resulting~~ in ~~severe injury or fatality~~. ~~Respect all barriers~~ and ~~warnings; they exist for your protection~~. ~~While Julian Malcolm is an experienced enthusiast, his activities are not~~ a ~~model for emulation. Neither New England Defenses nor its affiliates assume liability~~ for ~~injuries or infractions resulting from unauthorized exploration of coastal defense sites~~.

	~~'''Technical Disclaimer:'''~~		Finally, the technology. I am not an expert with Mediawiki which is the wiki software this site uses. The site may have issues that take time for me to research and fix. In some places on this site, I have embedded PDF files or videos which may require you to have the most up-to-date version of your web browser.
	~~Please be aware that some pages contain large image files~~, ~~necessitating loading time, even on high-speed internet connections~~. ~~For optimal viewing experience, ensure your browser~~ is ~~updated and avoid using outdated platforms, as compatibility may be affected. Guests can personalize their browsing experience with~~ the ~~"Dark Mode" feature, though compatibility varies across devices and browsers~~. ~~PDFs are integrated into the~~ site and ~~can be viewed using your browser's default viewer or saved for offline access if necessary~~. ~~Embedded YouTube videos enhance content, compatible with most modern browsers except for Internet Explorer, which ceased support~~ on ~~June 15th~~, ~~2022. For inquiries~~ or ~~technical support, please [[Contact Us]]. Thank~~ you ~~for~~ your ~~interest and patience~~.

	~~''' Language:'''~~		Thank you for visiting my site, Julian Malcolm
	The exploration of abandoned coastal fortifications reveals a complex tapestry of history and neglect. Regrettably, due to years of abandonment, these sites have been subject to vandalism, often adorned with profanity, gore, and other unsettling imagery. Capturing the essence of these locations inevitably entails encountering such elements, as we strive for ~~authenticity in our documentation. Please note that none of the photos on this~~ site undergo editing or censorship; what you see reflects the reality of our explorations. We acknowledge the limitations of our expertise in post-processing and prioritize preserving the integrity of the sites we document.

	Exploring Coastal Defense sites is very dangerous if the person is not well prepared or knowledgeable on the current condition of that site. Being careless around these sites can lead to serious injury or even death. We do not recommend that inexperienced people explore these sites as many are unsafe and are deteriorating rapidly. It is important to know what you are getting into and just make sure to use common sense. If a site is fenced off, it is probably for good reason. I am not a professional explorer but I do know my way around forts and do proper research regarding their safety. Do not do what I do. New England Defenses or any of our affiliates ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for INJURY or INFRACTIONS from the exploration of Coastal Defense Sites.
