Battery Weed is a substantial three-tiered 19th century fortification guarding the Narrows, the main approach from the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. Located on the Staten Island waterfront on the west shore of the Narrows directly across from Fort Hamilton and the now-destroyed Fort Lafayette on Long Island, the fort was intended to protect New York from attack by sea.
