well only one fort still standing, the other is just marks on the ground Fort Taber, a small earthwork with six cannons, was built nearby with city resources, and named after New Bedford's mayor during that period. It provided a temporary defense until the stone fort was garrisoned in 1863. Fort Taber is marked by a stone outline today, directly behind the stone fort.
Ah okay, that is cool. I can see the confusion for people then.
