Book excerpt: Excerpt from Permanent Fortifications and Sea-Coast Defences: Report It is probable this harbor may be well defended by a work placed near the mouth of Moschito creek, a little within the chaps of the harbor, or perhaps upon Winyaw Point. The present folt, situated near the town at the mouth of Sampit creek, can be of no avail, except to defend the approach by water to the town. It has long been neglected, and IS in ruins. Samee river and Bull's bay - About ten miles southwest, from Georgetown entrance are the mouths of the Santee, the largest river in South Carolina. Whether the two mouths of this river have sufficient water on their bars to permit the passage of vessels of any draught, the board are not informed; should there, as is believed, be too little water for sea-going vessels, there can be little advantage in fortifying them, especially as the greatest proportion of the valu able products of this river are now, or will soon be, diverted from the channel of the lower part of the river by canals to Charleston. As to Bull's bay, the board are in the same uncertainty as regards the depth of water with which it is accessible, and they are as yet doubtful of its defensibility if accessible.

L. Rifles on modified 15-inch carriages, one temporary emplacement for 47-inch rapid-fire gun, five temporary emplacements for 8-inch guns on nondisappearing carriages, and the emplacement for the original experimental 10 - inch disappear ing carriage. The foregoing temporary emplacements were built during the war with Spain from the National Defense funds. The 8-inch guns will be transferred from time to time to permanent emplacements as these are completed, and a number of them have already been so transferred. While it is proposed eventually to dis arm these temporary emplacements, they can again be used in case of emergency, and have for this reason been included in the foregoing enumerations. The status of emplacements for which funds have been provided by Congress is as follows at the close of the fiscal year.

Download or read book Coastal Fortifications and National Military Policy 1815 1835 History of Fortifications from Colonial Period to Third System Military Policy After War of 1812 Monroe and Madison Guidance Report written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-18 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal fortifications in the United States developed from the colonial practice of building temporary structures to a system designed to be permanent and enduring. Coastal fortifications became a focus of national military policy after the War of 1812. The First and Second Systems were evolutionary steps in fortification construction, but a lack of a national military policy providing guidance resulted in an incoherent system. The Board Report of 1821, based on policy guidance from presidents James Madison and James Monroe, provided a roadmap for the establishment of the Third System and coastal fortifications based on coherent policy. This monograph analyzes the history of American coastal fortifications from the colonial period to the Third System. From this perspective, it will show the evolution of coastal fortifications in relation to national military policy. The early period of the United States saw the development of a coherent system of fortifications that lasted into the 20th century. Coastal fortifications were a critical piece of an integrated system of defense. The establishment of fortifications did not happen through a single act of Congress or by the introduction of a coherent strategy that brought together the various elements of an integrated defense all at once. Early fortification development was the result of a particular crisis. However, the years spanning 1815-1835 were unique and allowed for fortification development in the absence of crisis. From 1793 through 1815, the United States went through two distinct stages of coastal fortification planning and construction. Both of these stages, the First and Second Systems, occurred during periods of national emergency. Before the American Revolution, the then-British colonies had constructed but a few permanent fortifications. The threat of invasion was relatively small. The lack of a direct threat was largely the result of two major factors. First was the natural composition of the borders, which had two large bodies of water on both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. As British colonies, the powerful Royal Navy had provided a strong deterrent against invasion. After the Revolution, however, the Royal Navy was no longer a partner, but was now a potential adversary, and the threat of seaborne invasion became a serious cause for concern among Americans living along the vulnerable coastal areas. The potential threat increased as the United States expanded westward, eventually taking in portions of the Gulf Coast. These potential attacks threatened to severely disrupt trade and commerce. It became clear after the War of 1812 that the United States needed to establish a better system for the construction of permanent coastal fortification. These fortifications thereafter became an integral part of the national defense of the United States. The construction of coastal fortifications from 1815-1835 was an integral part of the development of a national military policy in the early republic. The lack of permanent coastal fortifications during the colonial period had left the colonies without an existing infrastructure.
