The picture of Fort Adams was taken at the end of Adams Road in Fort Adams State Park, Newport, Rhode Island. Fort Adams is the largest Coastal Fortification in the United States, as the photo shows. The Fort, built between 1824-1857, was originally intended to protect the entrance of Narragansett Bay and Newport Harbor. French military engineer Simon Bernard, a former aide-de-camp of Napoleon, designed the Fort.
