타일러 요새

Fort Tyler
포트 타일러는 가디너스 섬의 최북단 지점 바로 북쪽에 있는 작은 섬인 가디너스 포인트 섬에 위치해 있다.

타일러 요새는 뉴욕 롱아일랜드 동쪽 끝에 있는 가디너스 베이 가디너스 섬의 외곽에 있는 작은 섬 가디너스 포인트 섬의 해안 요새였다.[1][2]

이 요새는 1898년, 스페인 아메리카 전쟁 중, 스페인 해군 함정의 폭격 위험으로부터 롱아일랜드를 보호하기 위해 건설되었다.[1][2] 이 요새에는 8인치(203mm) 소총 2정과 5인치(127mm) 소총 2발이 장착돼 있었다.[3] 이 요새는 1920년에 버려졌고 프랭클린 루즈벨트 대통령은 1938년에 이 요새를 새 보호구역으로 만들었다. 제2차 세계 대전 동안, 미국 해군들은 이 요새를 목표로 삼았다.

요새는 미개척 서류가 있을 수 있으므로 착륙을 금지한다.[4]

Dubbed the Fort Tyler Battery after President John Tyler whose wife, Julia Gardiner Tyler was born on the island, the structure remained in use until it was abandoned in 1920 due to erosion. In 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt declared the tiny island a National Bird Refuge and transferred the battery over to the Agriculture Department, which presumably lasted until World War II when the Navy, having a sizable presence in Montauk at the time, began using the concrete structure for target practice, reducing the historic battery to its current "ruined" condition.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint : url-status (링크)

Then, in 1938, the island (the fort is an island at high tide) was declared a National Bird Refuge by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and transferred to the Agriculture Department. However, during World War II, Fort Tyler was used for target practice and was reduced to its present state where it is popularly called 'The Ruins.'{{cite news}}: CS1 maint : url-status (링크)

It may have been the shelling of Sag Harbor that led to the construction of Fort Tyler in 1898 at the western tip of Gardiner's Island a point separating Gardiner's Bay from Block Island Sound. The old fort is now referred to by sailors as the 'ruins.' Closed after World War I in 1921, the fort became a target for live practice bombing runs during World War II. Live ordinance is reportedly still there, or so a 'danger' sign warns.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint : url-status (링크)
