I was on that island in july of 2000......I had to jump from a boat to the cement dock ... Then walk a old wood plank to get unto the fortress itself because the steel bridge had eroded and fell into the water leaving a 25ft. spand to cross....The wall of the fortress had "Guard dog on island" written in what looked like with a big paint brush..Once I crossed this 25ft. wood plank I came into a hall with a set of strps on my left...The steele entrance doors had been gone for a long time so you could walk right in...Once inside the fortress past the hall you come to a court yard which is over grown..I spent 4 hours exploring the island fortress until my ride was done fishing..I have explored all the coastal forts in this vicinity..."Fort Carroll, Fort Amristed, Fort Smallwood, Fort Howard.." This was the best I have explored yet..I look forward to going baxk...Be carefull the Coast Guard and City Boat Police will arrest you for trespassing if caught on island....Oh ya and there is no secret tunnel going from Fort Carroll to Fort Amisted...If there was it has been sealed up for years...I know I looked..

Are there any details as to exactly how Fort Carroll was constructed?

Great photos! I have been wanting to explore the fort for 20 years

Your pictures are the best that I have seen. I did notice that the brass doors are missing along with the pier.

That's a great question. Any chances of you sharing your sources?
