Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the construction history of the seawall at Fort McHenry. It begins with the initial requests to build a seawall in 1794 and concludes in 1895 upon the seawall's substantial completion. The seawall played a significant role in protecting the fort from erosion caused by storms and hurricanes. Due to its location on Locust Point, the fort is susceptible to severe wave wash from northerly and southerly storms and large swells caused by vessels entering and leaving the harbor. The seawall has been critical to the preservation of the fort and its designation as a National Monument and Historic Shrine. The author describes in detail the efforts to build and maintain the seawall, highlighting the various stages of construction and repairs. With the help of photographs, maps, and other archival materials, the author provides a comprehensive look at the seawall's history, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Fort McHenry and coastal engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
