BS…

One the largest, of the MANY problems with this narrative, is the idea of it. The southern states, were not doing well financially at the time. Agriculture alone wasn't cutting it, for their economy, and tensions were high, with the northern states, over a lot of issues, including slavery, and heavy handed pricing for imported goods. Anyway, the last thing, southern farmers were going to throw money at, was building a fort, in the middle of the ocean, in shallow, and deadly waters, surrounding this island. Can you imagine, trying to get the funds for this project? How was the snake oil guy, that got everyone to sign up, on the mission to hell? No one did, that's who. There are no records, of any moneys from anyone, to build this place. No invoices for bricks, and no shipping records. I guess, everything was just done on a handshake. 99 out of 100 people, will believe anything, "they say" anyway, so I wonder why I waste my time.

This fort, never had a purpose for American people, and I can prove it. Here are some facts not mentioned on this video. 27.3 tons of bricks would have to have been delivered and laid every day, for 4 years, 365 days a year. This is after the island itself was shaped and leveled. The bricks supposedly came from Maine. Why so far? It was the only manufacturer, of oven baked bricks in North America. Ok, well.. Where are the work orders, the invoices, the shipping records, the bills of lading, any records of food and sanitation services? How about the labor? Who put up the talented labor force, that were obviously extremely skilled? Slaves? No way. Slaves were trained for agriculture and textile manufacturing, blacksmithing, and livestock maintenance. No, rich white guy in 1847 would have been able to convince anyone in the south, that this was a good idea, and we should spend all available income, building a fort, no one is going to be able to find, much less attack. Let get back to the bricks for a minute. I can't even come up with the plant, that these things were produced in. 40,000 tons of bricks, and no one wants to credit, for producing them? No record of any bank, or payroll company, being involved in this project. In fact, no record of any moneys, being spent, other than, the futile attempts, at re purposing this place into a prison, or a lookout, for ships, that can't even get in there. It's all a lie. I don't know who built that place, but it wasn't southern slaves, in their spare time. I'll tell you that for free.

All lies. They did not build that in the 1800s. They found it there and tried to refurbish it unsuccessfully. Its probably thousands of years old

Whomever said it was built with 16mil bricks sucks at maths, engineering and computations. Minimum 100 million bricks needed!

Excellent video.

Amazing and thank you for preserving our historic structures!

Given the harsh environment and treacherous sailing route to & from the island, (as stated in the video) how did they get 16 million bricks delivered in such a short time frame? And why does the structure look old and aged in 'construction' photos? Also, why did it have arched ceilings & windows, or Greco-Roman architectural elements? Seems a bit much for a defense structure and soldier's barracks. Could it be that the fort was already there- prior to U.S. military presence? Is it possible the fort was found in a state of disrepair and even repairing the damage proved to be too difficult? There are so many questions I have concerning Fort Jefferson. It is a lovely place though, and I'm certainly glad this splendid work of architecture is being protected by the NPS, but surely no one believes this ridiculous 'historical' narrative... do they??

Very godd video

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Could see how its dry is a small island with ocean all around

This is really really good

charge admission - which the Army could not do. That's the new technology. Tourism is preservation.

Excellent and well put historical document of how Dry Tortugas National Park came to be. The NPS should do one on geological resources of the National Park too. Thank you.
