Loading... 019 1921 Fort Heath Map
John Cashman & Sons won the bid for the seawall at Fort Heath. Fort Heath was built in 1898 as a Coast Artillery fort, located on Grovers Cliff in Winthrop, Massachusetts, and was part of the defenses of Boston Harbor. It was named in honor of General William Heath, who served in the American Revolution. The three 12-inch guns of Battery Winthrop at Fort Heath, along with the 16 12-inch coast defense mortars of nearby Fort Banks, made Winthrop the most heavily armed part of the harbor defenses. Today, all traces of earlier military activity are gone. The old Coast Artillery gun batteries have been removed, the artillery observation stations have been demolished, and the area has been completely re-graded. At the site in 2011 are a public park for the Town of Winthrop and the luxurious Forth Heath Apartments.
