Fort William and Mary was a colonial fortification in Britain's worldwide system of defenses, defended by soldiers of the Province of New Hampshire who reported directly to the royal governor. The fort, originally known as "The Castle," was situated on the island of New Castle, New Hampshire, at the mouth of the Piscataqua River estuary. It was renamed Fort William and Mary circa 1692, after the accession of the monarchs William III and Mary II to the British throne. It was captured by Patriot forces, recaptured, and later abandoned by the British in the Revolutionary War. The fort was renamed Fort Constitution in 1808 following rebuilding. The fort was further rebuilt and expanded through 1899 and served actively through World War II.

  • Le Fort William and Mary était une installation coloniale défensive située à New Castle dans le New Hampshire. La première fortification date de 1632 sur l'île de New Castle à l'embouchure de la rivière Piscataqua, le fort gardait l'accès du port de Portsmouth. Lors de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis, le fort fut la cible du premier acte de rébellion du New Hampshire et le premier acte de la révolution aux États-Unis. Le 14 décembre 1774, une foule de quelques centaines d'habitants de la région de Portsmouth, emmené par John Langdon, envahit le fort et s'empara de la poudre qui fut ensuite distribuée à diverses milices des localités du New Hampshire. En 1808, il fut rebaptisé Fort Constitution. (fr)
