To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An octagon fort, of earth and heavy timber, with embra- sures for eight heavy guns also platforms for the same, was built upon the hill ; and a flag staff erected.
Nothing more was done on the Yard, except to collect timber for building purposes, until 1806, when a first lieu- tenant of marines, Mr. J. M. Gamble, with one sergeant, two corporals, fifteen soldiers and two musicians were or- dered by the Navy department to this Station as a garri- son to protect Government property on the island.... A small gunboat called the Bee was ordered for the protec- tion of the harbor, and to act as guard ship. No work other than the clearing of the island and erection of sheds, smith shop, saw pits and the building of a few small boats for the use of the Yard, was done until the year 1812, when the Government changed their former policy in the government of the Navy Yards, and placed them under the command of a naval officer as Commandant.
In March 1812, the Wasp sloop of war, Rattlesnake schooner, and Enterprise brig, were reported as being at the yard, and received some slight repairs.
