I little history of the Fort
Fort Phoenix is a former American Revolutionary War-era fort located at the entrance to the Fairhaven-New Bedford harbor, south of U.S. 6 in Fort Phoenix Park in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The fort was originally built in 1775 without a name, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Just off the fort, in Buzzards Bay, was the first naval engagement of the American Revolution, the Battle off Fairhaven on 14 May 1775.

On 5–6 September 1778, the fort was destroyed by the British when they raided the harbor. A force under Major Israel Fearing drove off the British, both at the fort and when they attempted an attack on the town the next day. The fort was then renamed Fort Fearing. In 1784 it was given the name "Fort Phoenix" after the mythical bird that rose from its own ashes.

The fort was rebuilt in 1798, and rebuilt again in 1808 with 12 guns with Commonwealth resources

And here are three of the guns still at the port

But the Park is more than just the Guns and remnant sof the fort, it has a nice beach and this field with a few tables and barbeque spots and is well worth a visit I really enjoy my visits and walks there, and its also good for catching both the sunrise and ths sunets at

Great sunrise shots, that's a nice historic location that is so well kept. That first picture came out great, a nice balance to it.

Someone has a classy old ride there! I love old cars from that era, there aren't many around anymore....

The tree kind of reminds me of a "bonzai" tree, but I know it is not. I like to visit old historic forts, especially ones that have parks attached to them. You can always sit back and rest or picnic to rest after you walk all around the fort.

That car is awesome! I also love the sunrise and how it reflects off the water. I need to start getting out in the morning during sunrise/or evening for sunset.

Reminds of a gangster car, half expecting Al Capone to pop out of it!
