I very much enjoyed “The Fort”. We had a chance to stop at Moose Pt State Park for an hour several years ago on our way back to IN. from Acadia. It was a beautiful August morning; like the last day on which the rebels started to burn their ships; so I felt a small connection to the geography when reading the book. I also found your historical notes interesting. I see that the British recovered most of the cannons left on the bay floor after the rebel ships burned. I was wondering if anyone had tried to do underwater exploration for ships timbers during the current era? Or would wood that old be totally deteriorated after 230 years? Maybe we can get Clive Cussler interested in an expedition?
