Fort Pownall Memorial : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fort Pownall
Fort Pownall was a British fortification built during the French and Indian War, whose remains are located at Fort Point State Park in Stockton Springs, Maine. The fort was named for Governor Thomas Pownall, who oversaw its construction. It never saw action, and was destroyed during the American Revolutionary War by the actions of both colonists and the British military to prevent its further use. The fort's remains were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.〔 ==Setting==
Fort Point State Park is located at the easternmost tip of Cape Jellison, a triangular peninsula which juts into Penobscot Bay at the mouth of the Penobscot River. The park, established in 1974, includes, in addition to the ruins of Fort Pownall, the Fort Point Light.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = State of Maine, Department of Conservation, Bureau of Parks & Land )〕 The cape's eastern tip forms a narrow peninsula, with the fort's ruins on the high ground near its easternmost end.
