The Castle Williams I mentioned yesterday as a US fort design that looked liked a castle, hence the name, was one of several fortifications making up New York City's Inner Harbor Defenses.
On the same island as Castle Williams, Governor's Island, there was also Fort Columbus which was renamed Fort Jay and South Battery.
Castle Clinton was on the south end of Manhattan Island in what is known as Battery Park.
Fort Wood was on Liberty Island and today forms the base of the Statue of Liberty.
Fort Gibson was on Ellis Island.
