Fort Adams in Newport, RI

On July 3, I took a tour of the amazing, 300 year old Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island!  It is also the biggest fort in North America.  (pretty sure) By the way, it gave me a ton of inspiration for future Minecraft projects on my server.  Anyways, Fort Adams is amazing!  Here are some pictures.













 
The last picture is from tunnels that the guards used to use to listen underground for the enemy.  There was no way you could go over the fort and into it without getting slaughtered.  So what they did was they would dig tunnels underground.  Then they would blow up part of the wall of a fort.  That was why these tunnels were built.  The guards listened for anyone digging underneath.  (pretty cool isn't it) More architecture is coming.  Stay Tuned!
