Summary
DescriptionNewport news norfolk portsmouth.jpg |
English: (From left uppermost, going clockwise:) Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Newport News, Virginia, USA. - July 1996
One can see the major roadways throughout Hampton Roads, starting from the top with the Chesapeake-Bay Bridge-Tunnel (it has three bridge spans and two tunnel spans, seen with the gaps). The next down is the Hampton-Roads Bridge-Tunnel, connecting Hampton and Norfolk. Going further down, one sees the Monitor-Merrimack Memorial Bridge-Tunnel, connecting the tip of Newport News (near Northrop Grumman - Newport News shipyard) to Suffolk. Continuing down the major river (the James River, to be exact), one sees the James River Bridge, a draw-bridge, also connecting Newport News with Suffolk. Another visible landmark is the Fort Monroe Military Installation, located directly next to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. This is one of the oldest fortifications in the United States, and has been occupied at various times through its history by Gen. Robert E. Lee and famous author Edgar Allan Poe. During the Civil War, Fort Monroe remained unbeseiged by the Confederacy, because, according to rumor, Gen. Lee knew that the fort would not fall. It retains the old fortification design inherited from Great Britain and Europe, characterised by a central island surrounded by a moat. This photograph is rotated approximately 120 degrees clockwise from true north. Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk are all part of the "Southside". |
