Maine really is one of the most beautiful states in the country. Its just sad that most of the history of the state is overlooked or forgotten. Things like Fort Knox just aren't what bring people to vacation land.
Thank you for a walkthrough of my childhood ❤️ my parents brought us here when we were young (and we were horrified) but now as an adult, it brings much nostalgia ❤️
The funny thing is that I didn't even know the fort was there. I had a few hours to kill before my flight home and i just started exploring the drive back toward the airport.
Nice introduction to Fort Knox! When I was kid, I enjoyed exploring the fort while my dad drilled with his Civil War reenactment team, the 20th Maine. It was a convenient place for them to meet and drill. They could only snap caps, but it was fun for them and any passers by. Many good memories there. Always bring a flashlight, though.
If you ever get back to Maine, visit Fort Popham and the adjacent Fort Baldwin. Fort Popham is also near the site where the first ship in America, the Virginia, was made in the Popham colony in 1606-07. A replica of that ship is being built a little ways up the river in Bath.
I grew up in the local area to the fort and would visit many times a summer as a kid. Very awesome to see, and how well it's been preserved. Hope you enjoyed your time in Maine!
History where u go I love this. Also I’m a history student (IGSCE) don’t know if u know what that is. But because of ur ww2 reaction vids and the little add ins that my teacher neglected to tell us I got a 9/9 in my last paper 4 practice! Thank you so much!
Is this a reuploaded vid I saw this aready but it was weeks ago.... Anyways I'm a Mainer and live in south Penobscot county I've been to Fort Knox when I was younger and to the bridge towers nearby
How exactly did the heated shot from coastal artillery work. It sounds like it would be dangerous to reload the cannon with superheated cannonballs, wouldnt it prematurely ignite when they put the shot into the gunbarrel? Because I read about that heated shot tactic in Bernard Cornwell's "the fort" which was during Revolutionary War. Especially if the cannonball was really shaped like a ball, it would be tricky to handle that heated shot when reloading I think...
I have been to a few Vauban forts (Lille, Copenhagen, Kronborg etc) but most have an earth glassis to adsorb bombardment, which this seems to be missing.
Knowbody realized they heavy weight of moving ammunition from place to place! Just a one pound box of 9 millimeter was heavy!! Were talking thousands upon thousands of ammunition!!!

I live in Prospect (the town where Fort Knox is). Very cool to see parts of my hometown featured like this!

I really did. A beautiful state. Had the chance to go to the top of Cadillac Mountain as well. Amazing views.
My bucket list is to visit every Third System fort, I need get back north and check this one off the list!
Gosh damn. Ty.
Over the hills and far away to protect our ammunition, is absolutely amazing!!!
