fort wadsworth
this is fort wadsworth as the title already let you know. it was the first fort where floating mines where deployed. apparently they called them torpedos and it was on a long string near where the Verrazano Bridge now stands above, from one side of the hudson river to the other, and sailors would just wait with their hands on some sort of detonating device and wait for British ships to venture into New York harbor, all the while there was a deadly string of floating mines bobbing around.
