Fort Sullivan, Maine-- Part 2

After the war, the British claimed that Moose Island, Maine and Eastport were on their side of the border and left 800 men there to hold it.

After negotiations, Americans regained control of them on 30 June 1818.

During the Civil War, the Army constructed and earthwork battery in the area.

In 1973, the fort was decommissioned and sold.  The barracks were moved to 74 Washington Street.  Other parts collapsed over time.  The ruins of the powder magazine can still be seen off McKinley Street.
