Aerial view of Fortress Monroe, which is located at Old Point Comfort, the southern tip of the Virginia Peninsula, guarding the navigational channel between the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads.

The fort is presented as an orderly, well-equipped military installation partially encircled by buildings of the town of Hampton.
