we visited Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island below is the sign and anchor from the USS Hartford
Part of a very old shipwreck washed up in a hurricane.
there is a blacksmith working daily making all sorts of things just as they would have back in the civil war days.
he made this leave as we watched and talked with him.
One of these days I just may leave Bil in jail -since he finds them so intriguing.
the sign below describes the latrine and shows how it was used and how it was used.
a look at the back side of the fort form the inside
the bridge to Dauphin Island as we approached it.
a side shot of the bridge - rather impressive.
We found some houses that sat on the edge of the water -they lived on the top as usually in this hurricane area has to be above ground and no one living on the bottom.
the houses from the side show just how big they are. But at least they could say they lived on the water.
