Few details in the record name the fort or the bay, so the view is best read as a window onto its era. Theodore Roosevelt served as president from 1901 to 1909, a period when the United States was expanding its navy and strengthening harbor defenses, and many coastal forts were built or upgraded to guard shipping approaches. Panoramic images like this one, taken from high above the water, reflect the early years of aerial photography, when cameras were lifted by balloons, kites and tall platforms before powered flight became common. The sweep of the image lets viewers see how a fort's position related to the surrounding shoreline and channel.
