a little bit about Fort Phoenix
Fort Phoenix is a former American Revolutionary War-era fort located at the entrance to the Fairhaven-New Bedford harbor, south of U.S. 6 in Fort Phoenix Park in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The fort was originally built in 1775 without a name, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Just off the fort, in Buzzards Bay, was the first naval engagement of the American Revolution, the Battle off Fairhaven on 14 May 1775.
On 5–6 September 1778, the fort was destroyed by the British when they raided the harbor. A force under Major Israel Fearing drove off the British, both at the fort and when they attempted an attack on the town the next day. The fort was then renamed Fort Fearing.In 1784 it was given the name "Fort Phoenix" after the mythical bird that rose from its own ashes

With the name Fort Phoenix, you may be wondring with these shots as it looks more like a beach, well the Fort phoenix Reservation does have a small area with some cannons, but it also has a nice longish beach to enjoy for a nice walk and thats what I am focusing on today
