Fort Casey

Fort Casey State Park is located on Whidbey Island in Washington state.

Admiralty Inlet was considered so strategic to the defense of Puget Sound in the 1890s that three forts.

They were built at the entrance with huge guns creating a "Triangle of Fire.".

This military strategy was built on the theory that the three fortresses would thwart any invasion attempt by sea.

Fort Casey is now a 467 acres (1.89 km2) marine camping park.

The Admiralty Head Lighthouse is located in the state park.

It started at 1897, 114 years ago.

Her big guns on disappearing carriages, which could be raised out of their protective emplacements so that the guns were exposed only long enough to fire, became active.

It was made for the boats.

It got never used.
