It was never com­ pleted since improvements in fortification were taking place so rapidly. Fort Popham is of the type known to military engineers as a closed lunette. The outline of the fort resembles'a half-moon, with'the water.batteries.in a thick granite wall some thirty feet in height. The perimeter of this unusually-shaped fort is over 500 feet. Within the arc is a parade ground. A fine sptrtral staircase at each end of the fort leads to upper tiers. The top of the structure commands a sweeping view up the Kennebec in one direction and seaward in another. The two barracks that used to be within the inner grounds no longer exist. Almost the entire space under the fort is occupied by a great sub­ terranean cistern or cisterns into which there are several openings in the we I Is. m The fort's guns which once consisted of forty-two cannon, have all m been sent to various places for historical purposes. n H PERIOD (Check One or More as Appropriate) Pre-Columbian G 16th Century Q 18th Century G 20th Century g] 15th Century G 17th Century G 19th Century EJT) SPECIFIC DATE(S) (If Applicable and Known) ~}^/c\ AREAS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Check One or JWore as Appropriate) Aboriginal Education G Political G Urban PI armi-rrg — — -^[H !

' ; X Until 1890, it was thought that here was the site of the 1607 Popham Col;ony ~ Doc iiments then found in Spain established that these first colonists settled on ° Sab no Head (visible, and marked with tablet, 1/2 mile west). A short distance further west a bouhder indicates to runo legists that VI kin g *~ voyi jgers had landed here. Experts translate the boulder markings: "year 1018 is an U j || year!'. On May 31, 1607, the Mary and John and the Gift of God sailed out of Plymou i-h, a. Old England, under the command of Raleigh Gilbert and George Popham. On board w ere one hundred colonists. Two months later, July 31, the New World was sighted — (Nova Scotia). On 00 Sun< fay, August 9, ten days before selecting Sab i no Head as the plantation site, l-he z vesi >els hove to in St. George's Harbor to hold what was probably one of the ear iest — sen 'ices of the Church of England (Episcopal) in New England. They built a fort, "trencht and fortified yt with 12 pieces of ordnance, bu ilt how* ;es .. therein, besides a church and pretty Pynnace of about some thirty tonn fa } ^ whic :h they called the' Virginia. " «/» The winter of 1607-08 was a severe one and in December all but 45 coloniists reti irned to England. In February President Popham died and Gilbert succeeded hi n, In July (1608) "Capt. Gilbert received letters that his brother was newly deac lf (Strachey) and a rich inheritance awaited him in England.

The building of the Virginia was forerunner of the Kennebec shipbuilding trac it ion known around the world. : Like other Civil War forts, Fort Popham, begun in 1861, was outmoded before com- ^,, Mon, S The fort was garrisoned in 1865-66, during the Spanish American War in 1^9^ , and alsc during World War I. The Kennebec river above the fort was mined during Wor d War 1. 1 he armament and strength of the fort were such that it would have been practi cally impo ssible for warships of the Civil War period to have passed; and a serious ati empt to f orce the river entrance would have involved a landing and an attempt to carrj the tfork from the rear, hence the moat, and the small guns and loopholes command- ng the beach, the moat and the land in the rear of the fort.

A log boom defense was placed in the river between the two forts. The fort was garrisoned by 180 men under the command of Captain Titus Salter from 1775-78. The garrison was also responsible for the security of the powder magazine in Portsmouth. The fort was designed by Captain Ezekiel Worthen, who also designed Fort Sullivan and the Clark's Point (Shaw’s Hill) Redoubt on New Castle Island, and who, with the rank of Major, later replaced General Sullivan as the overall commander of the Portsmouth harbor defenses. Peirce's Island was renamed "Isle of Washington" in 1776, in honor of General George Washington, who was then commander of the Army of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the siege of Boston. The fort was repaired and regarrisoned in 1814-15 during the War of 1812 when British warships blockaded the New England coast. The fort was in ruins by 1850, and was probably not used at all during the Civil War.

Army Corps of Engineers New England District 696 Virginia Road Concord, MA 01742-2751 ATTN: Mr. Bill Kavanaugh, Programs Project Management Division VIA EMAIL Re: Maintenance and Advance Maintenance Dredging of the Federal Navigation Project in the Kennebec River, Maine Dear Mr. Kavanaugh, On behalf of the parties listed below (together as Phippsburg Commenters), please accept the following comments regarding the proposed Maintenance and Advance Maintenance Dredging of the Federal Navigation Project in the Kennebec River, Maine. The Phippsburg Commenters also wish to incorporate by reference comments submitted by the Town of Phippsburg Shellfish Commission, the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, the Phippsburg Land Trust, and the Friends of Merrymeeting Bay. Maintenance dredging of the Federal Navigation Channel in the lower Kennebec River is normally conducted in winter. The Army Corps of Engineers has proposed out-of-season dredging in August solely to allow the U.S.S. Spruance to exit from Bath Iron Works to the sea in September 2011. As explained below, the Phippsburg Commenters request that permits for the proposed summertime dredging be denied because it will have severe adverse impacts to virtually all other uses and users of the Kennebec River estuary and surrounding waters– including shellfish harvesting, lobstering, tourism and recreation, commercial and recreational fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, property owners, wildlife and other aquatic life – and because there are more cost effective and less environmentally damaging alternatives to enable delivery of the Spruance.
