		The fortifications were assigned the name Fort Wint in honor of Brigadier General Theodore J. Wint who had served in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, Indian campaigns, the War with Spain and the Philippine Insurrection.
		In 1907 Fort Wint was enlarged by General Order 81 to include all outlying rocks, shoals and islands within one mile of the low water line of Grande Island.

	History Of Fort Drum
		Fort Drum was located on El Fraile Island, about 7500 yards south of Caballo Island and by virtue of its peculiar character, a static battleship in the southern approaches to Manila Bay, it was the most unique of the Harbor Defense forts.

		On Caballo Island (Fort Hughes) the emplacements have been started, and the armament for the batteries are under construction.
