Fort Marion
Fort Marion, an ancient fortress on the Matanzas River, is an important Spanish relic. It was originally built in 1505, destroyed in 1586 by Sir Francis Drake, and the present fort was finished in 1756. It has been called by the Spanish “San Moroco” and by the English “St. John”.
On its accession to the US it was named after a South Carolina patriot. Many captives were imprisoned here; two Seminole chiefs, the celebrated Osccola and Coacoochee were confined here seven years, but finally escaped.

Thank you for the great job done. It would be great if you would push more to use the raw data that you make available for visual purpose to the people that are able to handle it and show some apps that can play with those data.
