Description
The Fort Stark Harbor Entrance Control Post (HECP), was built to
resemble a war ship when viewed from the sea. It was used as the control center for harbor defenses where signalmen alerted the Coast Guard picket boat to open or close the gate in the anti-submarine net, which stretched from Fort Stark to Fort Foster across the harbor.
Fort Stark Historic Site is located on a peninsula historically called Jerry�s Point on the southeast corner of New Castle Island. It overlooks the Piscataqua River, Little Harbor and the Gulf of Maine.
Fort Stark was named in honor of General John Stark, commander of the New Hampshire forces at the Battle of Bennington (1777).
