Fort Schuyler in the Bronx, N.Y. City. the Bronx.Whitesone bridge (295) crosses over it. It always amused me to see portable air conditioning units in the gunports. It protected NYC from attacks via Long Island Sound. Across the way is Fort Totten, which was never completed.
 
In 1975, a buddy and I visited Fort Totten in Queens, N.Y. That's the Bronx-Witestione bridge in the distance with Fort Schuyler. As masonry forts were proven obsloete (and expensive) during the Civil War it was never finished.They did have a water battery with six-pounder rapid firing guns nearby.
I'm wearing an original dark-blue Type L2-A jacket (Superior Togs Corp) I still have it.
