It's our last day here at Gulf Islands National Park even though we didn't want it to be! After having an amazing day exploring Fort Pickens at Pensacola Beach and camping our rv right next to the beach we had an unexpected visitor. I've never been so unhappy to see a national park ranger before.

Pensacola Beach, Florida - The Road to Fort Pickens
Fort Pickens, Pensacola Beach, Florida
In 1821, the Third System of coastal forts was extended to include protecting Pensacola Bay and the communities that lined the mainland shore.
Pensacola Bay had long been considered important by European powers that sought to colonize North America. With depths ranging between twenty and sixty-five feet and twelve-and-a-half miles long, the bay could afford excellent anchorage and protection for ships. Through the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819 Spain ceded East and West Florida to the United States and Pensacola Bay became U.S. territory. By 1825, legislation was passed to establish a navy yard and depot on the bay. Fortifications were needed to protect the new territory, its resources, and assets.
Fort Pickens was designed and constructed to defend Pensacola Bay and the Pensacola Navy Yard and Depot from foreign attack. The fort stood with its sister forts throughout the country safeguarding the democratic institutions of the young republic, and today it is an enduring symbol of the United States.
Fort Pickens was conceived by the Board of Engineers for Fortifications, a committee of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tasked with selecting potential sites and preparing plans for all new forts. Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Totten was the principal designer of Fort Pickens, but Totten’s design was revised shortly after construction began by Brevet Brigadier General Simon Bernard, the senior member of the Board of Engineers. Bernard’s assessment of the channel entering Pensacola Bay led him to recommend fortifying three points: the western end of Santa Rosa Island, the eastern end of Perdido Key, and the barrancas or bluffs north of the channel. Bernard’s revisions of Fort Pickens saved the government money and allowed it to more quickly fortify Perdido Key.
The fort’s design was influenced by the geography of the area in which it would be built. The ideal location was found on the western point of Santa Rosa Island, an elongated barrier island that provided natural protection to Pensacola Bay and mainland Florida, which commanded the approaches to the channel, controlled access in to and out of the bay, and which would cooperate with forts built elsewhere around the channel to prevent an enemy force from using the island to launch raids against the navy yard.
Fort Pickens is a massive five-bastioned work, consisting of one tier of casemates and a barbette tier. Four of the five walls face water. To defend the structure from a land based attack from the east, a glacis and counterscarp was designed to conceal the fort. In the event an enemy overtook the glacis and counterscarp, they were confronted with a dry ditch that wrapped around the fort.
Fort Pickens was designed to unleash a ring of fire from its seaward facing walls. Cannon of various types, number 205 guns, from 24- and 32-pounder cannons to carronades and mortars, were mounted en casemate or en barbette and used to great advantage over an attacking force. The fort required 500 men to garrison during war-time, but could accommodate up to 1,000 in emergencies, during peace time a much smaller force of 60 men maintained the fort and its defenses.

Fort Pickens Part 1
Fort Pickens is one of three coastal forts that were constructed to guard the entrance to Pensacola Bay. It's located on the Western end of Santa Rosa Island near Pensacola Beach, and is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The State Park has plenty to offer including camping, fishing, beaches and swimming.
The fort is loaded with history from the Civil War, and all the way to WW2. There are several other batteries that were constructed in the early 19 hundreds around the fort as weapons and attack from air become a threat.
Come along for the beautiful ride along the white sandy beaches that take you to the location of the fort, and explore with us. This is a great place to see and learn about!

FORT PICKENS-PENSACOLA BEACH FLORIDA
Fort Pickens is a pentagonal historic United States military fort on Santa Rosa Island in the Pensacola, Florida, area. It is named after American Revolutionary War hero Andrew Pickens. The fort was completed in 1834 and remained in use until 1947. Wikipedia. Here is a bit of history to go with my black and white retrospective of my photographic journey through Fort Pickens many years ago. If only the walls and sand could talk. The stories would be amazing! Hardship living in these costal areas has to be tough and I tried to create my perspective as maybe it looked more than a hundred years ago. I took these photos with a Nikon D100 DSLR and my Nikon 80-200 2.8 D lens. I used iMovie on my iPhone to edit and create this video for my YouTube channel etcrobb. I hope you enjoy this little view into Fort Pickens. Please like and share as it would be much appreciated!
