    Caption: "Battery covered with snow, Fort Worden, Wash.," c. 1908-1912. Shows the three batteries at Fort Worden covered in a blanket of snow, with the ocean or Puget Sound in the distance. Construction began on the fort in 1898, and by 1902 it was serving as an active U.S. Army base. Fort Worden was part of the "triangle of fire," three coastal defense fortifications (Fort Casey, Fort Worden, and Fort Flagler) guarding the entrance to Puget Sound. The U.S. sold the property to the state of Washington in 1957. In 1973, the fort and surrounding area opened as Fort Worden State Park.
