If you’ve ever lookd underneath the Key Bridge, you’ve likely seen Fort Carroll. This artificial island was actually built in 1848 to add a defensive barrier to Baltimore ahead of Fort McHenry. The concrete barriers you see were modern additions (ca 1900) It has been abandoned for nearly 90 years now and its strictly off limits.

The construction of Fort Carroll was supervised by then Captain Robert E. Lee, US Army Corps of Engineers.
