Castle William,

A defensive work on the northwest point of Governor's Island, New York Harbor; completed in 1811; and now used chiefly as a military prison. It is the most conspicuous building on the island, and from it is fired the regulation gun signal at sunrise and sunset. As a defensive work Castle William is now of no importance whatever.

Harper and Brothers Publishers. . New York. 1902.
