Fort Griswold is a former American defensive fortification in Groton, Connecticut named after Deputy Governor Matthew Griswold. The fort played a key role in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War, in correspondence with Fort Trumbull on the opposite side of the Thames River. Griswold defended the port of New London, Connecticut, a supply center for the Continental Army and friendly port for Connecticut-sanctioned privateers who attacked British ships. The 17-acre site is maintained as Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

  • Fort Griswold ist eine ehemalige Militärbasis mit einem dazugehörigen State Park, dem Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Groton. Sie ist benannt nach dem damaligen stellvertretenden Gouverneur Matthew Griswold. Das Fort spielte eine Schlüsselrolle in den frühen Phasen des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges. Zusammen mit Fort Trumbull auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Hafens diente Griswold zur Verteidigung des Hafens von New London. Dieser war eine wichtige Nachschubzentrale für die Kontinentalarmee und ein Schutzhafen für Piraten, die von Connecticut unterstützt wurden und Jagd auf britische Schiffe machten. (de)
