| 释义 |
Fort Whitman (Washington) was an Endicott Board fortification on Goat Island, Puget Sound, Washington state, just offshore of La Conner,[1] a part of the Harbor Defenses of Puget Sound.[2] It comprised a single 4 gun 6" DC battery, Battery Harrison, and mine control structures. The usual barracks and other support facilities were temporary and built for the duration[3], excepting a caretaker's quarters. It protected the confined back passage east of Fidalgo Island, Skagit Bay.[4] By World War II, the six-inch DCs were no longer required; the main armament was 37mm AMTB guns. Except during wartime, the fort remained on caretaking status throughout its existence.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Fort Whitman|url=http://cdsg.org/old/HDPSdata/whitman.htm|website=CDSG.org|publisher=Coast Defense Study Group|accessdate=20 December 2015}} 2. ^{{cite book|last1=Kaufmann|first1=J|title=Fortress America: The Forts That Defended America, 1600 to the Present|date=Sep 1, 2007|publisher=Da Capo Press, Sep 1, 2007|page=338|accessdate=20 December 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Fort Whitman|url=http://cdsg.org/fort-whitman/|website=Coast Defense Study Group|publisher=Coast Defense Study Group|accessdate=19 July 2017}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Evans-Hatch|first1=Gail|author2=Hatch, D.
