I like the juxtaposition

The stone fort is Ft Popham
" Fort Popham was originally designed to mount 42 heavy guns, a mix of 10-inch and 15-inch Rodman guns, but construction was halted in 1869 with only two of the planned three tiers completed.[9] In the late 19th century, Fort Popham's armament consisted of 36 Rodman guns and some 300-pounder (10-inch) and smaller Parrott rifles. "

Started in 1857 the 3rd tier was never completed.

Upstream is the Bath Iron Works.

Here the same. The problem seems to be at the media.glassdoor site end. I have re-uploaded the pic directly onto our server. Now should be OK.

Fort Jervois on Ripapa Island in Lyttelton Harbour New Zealand. Some images I took on a recent visit. I want to put up more on this rather historical site, so I'll put up only the briefest glimpse here. Built in the late 19th Century, Fort Jervois was armed with four disappearing guns and during WW1 housed one of the country's most notorious prisoners of war for over a hundred days, Count Felix von Luckner, the Seeadler.

The island from the opposite shore of the harbour. It's not very big.
