Fort Jay, Nutting Island, NYC

Governors Island, NYC, once the U.S. Army's "Fort Columbus" before the location of the US Coast Guard, (moved to be closer to today's nautical activity in the outer harbor) once held the plans to the D-Day Invasion in a safe in the "mansion" there according to the captain of the "Swivel" ferry to it he told me standing at Miller Field (said first automated coastal defense firing) on Staten Island, NY (four of the five boroughs are on islands). There is a monument (a swivel gun) there to the arrival of John Peter Zenger from the German Palatine in 1710 at the age of thirteen. He later was imprisoned for having a press that published an article critical of a 1733 candidate in Westchester. He won his case and helped ensure the "freedom of the press" in the early colony that later became the first capital of the United States where Benjamin Franklin, our first ambassador to France had a printing press. (Our first ambassador to England was Rufus King of Queens, NY) Perhaps also why Normandy?
