For Gorges located just outside of Portland Maine USA. Part of my Portland building collection!
Fort Gorges is a former United States military fort built on Hog Island Ledge in Casco Bay, Maine, United States.[2] Built from 1858 to 1864, no battles were fought there and no troops were stationed there. Advancing military technology, including iron clad ships and long range guns, rendered the fort obsolete before it could be used. The fort is now a park, accessible only by boat. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
