Built in 1742 for defense against French
cruisers, U.S.S. "Constitution" sought shelter under the fort's guns
when chased by H.M.S. "Tenedos" and "Endymion" April 3rd, 1814. Named
after Samuel Sewall of Marblehead, Chief Justice of Massachusetts in
1814. The bombproof headquarters are covered with several feet of earth.

Tribute to the Veteran's Home
Demolished July, 2013.
It turns
out that June, 2012 was the last time I would ever get to photograph the
veteran's home. I first discovered the place in August, 2008 and have
tried to visit at least once per year since then. It is an all too
familiar reminder that these places won't be around forever, which is
the inspiration for my desire to document them before they are gone. My
thoughts are with its previous owner(s). So here is a tribute to the
veteran's home; photos taken over the past five years.
