While doing a blog entry on Perdido Key on my Roadlog blog, I came across this Civil War fort, which guarded the western entrance to Pensacola Bay, across from Fort Pickens. It was a masonry fort built before the war and took part in the shelling of the Union-held Fort Pickens.
I was under the idea that it was no longer there, but it must be as the source I was using mentioned McRee's ruins, although accessible only by boat and with no facilities.
I'll be doing some more research on it.
