Located at a high point on the Bagaduce Peninsula, the fort was built as part of an initiative by the British to establish a new colony called New Ireland. It was the principal site of the British defense during the Massachusetts-organized Penobscot Expedition, a disastrous attempt to retake Castine launched in response to the British move. The remains of the fort, now little more than its earthworks, are part of a state-owned and town-maintained park. ==Description and history== Fort George is today a roughly square earthworks, about on each side, with bastions at the corners that project out an additional . These works are for the most part about in height, although the easternmost bastion is high. Features of the fort that have not survived include a palisade, moat, and gateway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Fort George )〕 The fort is one of a series of defenses erected by the British in 1779, which notably included the digging of a canal across much of the neck separating the Bagaduce Peninsula from the rest of the mainland. Castine is set at a strategically significant location near the head of Penobscot Bay, and was a point of conflict at several times between the 17th and 19th centuries. Pursuant to plans for establishing a military presence on the coast of Maine as well as the colony of New Ireland, a British force led by General Francis McLean arrived off Castine in June 1779, seized the town, and established Fort George and other fortifications in the area. The state of Massachusetts, of which Maine was then a part, responded by raising a large militia force, which in an operation known as the Penobscot Expedition, disastrously failed in its attempt to dislodge the British. The fort was not abandoned by the British until 1784.〔 The site of the fort's remains is now a park of , owned by the state and maintained by the town.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Castine Comprehensive Plan, 2010 )〕 The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.〔 Fort George is the site of Majabigwaduce, the location for Bernard Cornwell's 2010 book ''The Fort'', which is about the Penobscot Expedition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort George (Castine, Maine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
