| Welcome to my website! From my early years, I've been fascinated by Coastal Defense installations in my local Harbor Defense of Portsmouth. In 2021, I embarked on a project with three primary objectives: documenting, preserving, and restoring Coastal Defense sites throughout New England. Along my journey, I've had the privilege of meeting numerous individuals whose invaluable assistance has propelled this project forward. I highly recommend exploring the resources provided by the Coast Defense Study Group (CDSG), an organization whose objectives closely align with mine, albeit on a broader scale encompassing the entire United States and beyond. Their extensive archives on Harbor Defenses have been instrumental in advancing my work, and I'm immensely grateful for their contribution. | | Welcome to my site. I am a fort nerd who is interested in preserving the history of Coastal Defense particularly in the New England States in the US. If you would like to learn more about Coast Defense in the US please visit the [//cdsg.org CDSG Website]. The knowledge there is much greater than what I have to present here. |

| *'''PRESERVATION'''
| |
| Following World War II, the majority of former Coast Defense sites underwent transition from government ownership to private hands. While some were repurposed by landowners or converted into public spaces, many others succumbed to urban development or were deemed unsafe for public access. It's imperative that we safeguard these historical landmarks from further deterioration. Out of approximately 150 sites scattered across New England, over 50 have already been lost to demolition or neglect. Preserving these sites is paramount to ensuring their survival for future generations.
