Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

para extender las raciones almacenadas. Por más de un mes, unas 1500 personas se abarrotaron en el castillo, dependiendo de estas provisiones hasta que terminara el asedio.
Esta excavación ancha y seca hacía el castillo menos vulnerable ante los ataques de infantería. Combinado con otras defensas, el foso protegía la parte inferior de las murallas del fuego de los cañones enemigos. La extensión de tierra sin resguardo también exponía cualquier posible atacante a los fusilazos de los soldados en el terraplén.
El foso se llenó con agua de 1938 hasta 1996, cuando el National Park Service lo drenó para reflejar su aspecto original.
