Dear Ed; Seeing you two weeks ago reminded me that I have been sitting on some important information concerning Fort Pickering, which I have been meaning for several years to forward to the MHC. It is a plan of the antecedent to Fort Pickering, entitled"Salem Fort in the Province of Massachusetts Bay in America"drawn by J. Redknap in 1705. I received it from the British Public Records Office too late to include in our final report.' This is by far the earliest graphic representation of Salem Fort that we found, showing it as it existed after the renovations of the 1690s(see pages 54-58 in our report)- Importantly, it shows that the fort already possessed the outline that it retained through all subsequent reconstructions through the War of 1812,and which it partially still retained even after the extensive rebuilding of the Civil War era Also, it shows the position of the commander's house, the powder house, and the barracks already in the locations recorded by Stephen Rochefontaine in his plan of 1794 (Figure 4.2 in our report). And finally,the cross-section drawing shows that the ramparts on the water-front included a vertical masonry facing,rather than the later earth feeing, and that the guns were mounted to fire over a low parapet, enbarbette, rather than through embrasures as appears to have been the case after the 1790s' renovations, if not before. It is very likely that at least some of these features were present in the fort's earliest construction, perhaps as early as the 1640s. Also, I have included a plan entitled "Marblehead Fort in the Province of Massachusetts Bay in America"drawn by Redknap at the same time. This fort is very different from the Salem Fort in both its trace and construction. Notable details are the old fish house(G)within the fort, the 'Pamela Crane,Leslie Shaw,Peter Morrison and Anne Wilder, "For the Defense of Salem:"Fort Lee and Fort Pickering Conditions Assessment, Cultural Resource Management Survey, and Maintenance and Restoration Plan Project. Prepared for the Massachusetts Historical Commission and the City of Salem by Crane&Morrison Archaeology,Freeport, Maine, in association with Gray Architects, Inc., Salem,Massachusetts(December 2003). " insubstantial wooden land-side walls, or"fence," and the apparently- wooden superstructure on the parapets to protect the guns, shown in the cross section drawing. Aside from its interest as a fort, this plan could lead a researcher to the exact location of a seventeenth-century fish house, which may well be a unique resource. Lenny Loparto was involved in reviewing the Fort Pickering and Fort Lee project, as well,and may also like to see these. Thank you very much, and it was good to see'you, if briefly, Sincerely, Peter Morrison cc Dennis Gray, Gray Architects,Inc. William Finch, Finch&Rose Jane A.

During the, 17th century Town and Province records ptriadically refer to orders to build, repair and ars the forts, usually in the _ace of some threat of ttt►ek by the Indiana, Dutch or French. The earliest mentioned fort in Salem records is Darbie Fort on Hogg's Head (Hangw Head) in Narblehead, which wts then referred to as Darbie Fort side, just as Beverly use first called Cepe Ann side.

This 38 acre, k mile long island is situated on the western side of Salem Harbor and is connected to Salem Neck by a causeway. The fort site, which occupies roughly two acres, commands the western approach to the Har- bor. The present structures were built in 1863 by the Department of War and are generally in a ruinous, but restorable, condition. The original defenses, set up at the site in 1644 or before, were similar) to others in the Bay Colony. They were simple, unsophisticated earth and wood structures, which received sporadic attention during the seventeenth century. By 1706 the fort was rebuilt under the direction 6f the royal engineers who had originally been sent by King William III to fortify the colonies. The first full description of the eighteenth century fort site was given in 1794 after Congress had passed legislation for improving coastal defenses. Engineers' plans of that date indicate that Fort William was irregular in shape with dimensions of 155' x 165' . . It contained separate structures for barracks, magazine and lodgement for the captain of the fort. The main M battery of five heavy pieces faced the harbor behind a parapet of loose M stone and earth. In October, 1794, Salem ceded the area of Fort William to the United States. A new fort was immediately begun under the direction of S. Roche- Z fontaine, the engineer in charge of fortifications in the New England area. '^ This fort was constructed of masonry and sods with a brick citadel for the -i garrison to live in, under which were a powder house and a bombproof. Never A garrisoned, the fort deteriorated until 1799 when it was repaired and re- e named Fort Pickering. An engineer's report from 1811 describes Fort Pick- ering as an enclosed work of masonry and sods mounting six heavy guns, n covered by a block house, a brick magazine and barracks for one officer and thirty men. :C: Once again the fort deteriorated and in 1861 the government allocated O monies to 'repair it. I Z The outline of the present site of Fort Pickering strongly resembles that of the 1794 plans by Rochefontaine. The main structures are an earth-cov- ered block house, which is partially surrounded by a stone wall, and an earthen embankment. The embankment walls, approximately 4' high, are covered by earthen revetments and are in excellent condition in some places, notably at the southern end. The block house has two brick vaults, opening of which are outlined in granite; a well preserved granite wall, approxi- mately 8' high, runs the length of its western side. About 20 yards south of the blockhouse is a rectangular mound 20' high, containing a vault in it southwestern corner. The location of this structure corresponds to the barracks location in Rochefontaine's drawings. Complete enclosure of the fort is prevented by an access way to a nearby Coast Guard facility.

Although the exact date of its construction is of known, the fort was in existence by 1644. The fort was named for King William in 1699; it was renamed for Queen Anne in 1704 but throughout the Z eighteenth century was kno,,m locally as Fort William. In 1774, Fort William served as a garrison for the 59th British Regiment under the command of n _ Colonel Hamilton; this regiment later participated in the Battle of Bunker Hill, During the Revolution, the fort was garrisoned and protected the large fleet of privateers operating out of Salem Harbor. U Fort William was ceded to the United States government in 1794 and was M rebuilt at that time. Its name was changed in 1799 to Fort Pickering in X honor of Timothy Pickering, a resident of Salem who was Secretary of War and then Secretary of State under President Washington and again under to President Adams. In the same year, the famous frigate Essex was built nder the protection of Fort Pickering's guns. The fort was still con- sidered important to coastal defenses in 1864, when it was again rebuilt by Is federal government to include powder magazines and'addit onal'earth- W rks. It was garrisoned during the. Spanish American War in 1898 but was u later abandoned. a 9.

DESCRIPTION �'� --- (Check One) ❑ Excellent ❑ Good ❑ Fair ❑ Detetioroted' [ Roim ❑ UneAPoaed CONDITION (Check One) (Check Ona) Altered ❑ Unellered ❑ Moved [ Original Site - DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL (I(known) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Fort Pickering is located on the eastern and southern side of Winter Island. This 38 acre, 'i mile long island is situated on the western side of Salem Harbor and is connected to Salem Neck by a causeway. The fort site, which occupies roughly two acres, commands the western approach to the Har- bor. The present structures were built in 1863 by the Department of War and are generally in a ruinous, but restorable, condition. The original defenses, set up at the site in 1644 or before, were similar to others in the Bay Colony. They were simple, unsophisticated earth and wood structures, which received sporadic attention during the seventeenth century. By 1706 the fort was rebuilt under the direction 6f the royal engineers who had originally been sent by King William III to fortify the colonies. The first full description of the eighteenth century fort site was given in 1794 after Congress had passed legislation for improving coastal defenses. Engineers' plans of that date indicate that Fort William was irregular in shape with dimensions of 155' x 165' . . It contained separate structures for barracks, magazine and lodgement for the captain of the fort. The main m battery of five heavy pieces faced the harbor behind a parapet of loose m stone and earth.. In October, 1794, Salem ceded the area of Fort William to the United States. A new fort was immediately begun under the direction of S. Roche- _ fontaine, the engineer in charge of fortifications in the New England area. '^ This fort was constructed of masonry and sods with a brick citadel for the -I garrison to live in, under which were a powder house and a bombproof. Never A garrisoned, the fort deteriorated until 1799 when it was repaired and re- e named Fort Pickering. An engineer's report from 1811 describes Fort Pick- ering as an enclosed work of masonry and sods mounting six heavy guns, Cl covered by a block house, a brick magazine and barracks for one officer and thirty men. :c : ..._ . :,:y: . Once again the fort deteriorated and in 1861 the government allocated O . monies to repair it. z The outline of the present site of Fort Pickering strongly resembles that of the 1794 plans by Rochefontaine. The main structures are an earth-cov- ered block house, which is partially surrounded by a stone wall, andan earthen embankment. The embankment walls, approximately 4' high, are covered by earthen revetments and are in excellent condition in some places, notably at the southern end. The block house has two brick vaults, opening of which are outlined in granite; a well preserved granite wall, approxi- mately 8' high, runs the length of its western side. About 20 yards south of the blockhouse is a rectangular mound 20' high, containing a vault in it southwestern corner. The location of this structure corresponds to the barracks location in Rochefontaine's drawings. Complete enclosure of the fort is prevented by an access way to a nearby Coast Guard facility.

Although the exact date of its construction is of known, the fort was in existence by 1644. The fort was named for King �+ William in 1699; it was ren coed for Queen Anne in 1704 but throughout the Z eighteenth century was known locally as Fort William. In 1774, Fort William served as a garrison for the 59th British Regiment under the command of _ Colonel Hamilton; this regiment later participated in the Battle of Bunker Hill. During the Revolution, the fort was garrisoned and protected the large fleet of privateers operating out of Salem Harbor. U Fort William was ceded to the United States government in 1794 and was rebuilt at that time. Its name was changed in 1799 to Fort Pickering in K honor of Timothy Pickering, a resident of Salem who was Secretary of War I- and then Secretary of State under President Washington and again under h President Adams. In the same year, the famous frigate Essex was built under the protection of Fort Pickering's guns. The fort was still con- sidered important to coastal defenses in 1864, when it was again rebuilt by e federal government to include powder magazines and'additional 'earth- W works. It was garri's6ned during the_ Spanish American War in 1898 but was to later abandoned.
