I have been mentioning Sandy Hook a bit in regards to the New York Flotilla and had no idea where it was located. Just somewhere near New York City. Time to find out a little more about it.
From Wikipedia.
Actually, it is in New Jersey and is what is called a barrier spit, about six miles in length and varying from 0.1 mile to 1.0 mile in width. It encloses the southern entrance of the Lower New York Bay south of New York City. The name comes from the Dutch "Sant Hoek."
The defunct Fort Hancock is at the northern end of Sandy Hook and was built in 1896.
