“””The Webster–Ashburton Treaty, signed August 9, 1842, was a treaty that resolved several border issues between the United States and the British North American colonies (the region that became Canada).””””

I like our version of Fort Blunder, but I stand corrected.

FORT MONTGOMERY - In 1816, fortifications were started at the outlet of Lake Champlain, near Rouse's Point, and Island Point, a small sand island between Rouse's Point and Province Point, was selected for its site. The shore on the south end of Rouse's Point was also fortified. As early as 1814 it was contemplated by officers of the army to place batteries on the shore for the purpose of commanding the adjacent waters, but it was never done.
The fort was erected under the supervision of Col. Joseph Totten, a United States engineer. But the work was far inferior to that now seen in military fortresses. It was an octagon, about thirty feet high, was ten-bastioned, and occupied about three-fourths of an acre in area. Instead of piles driven into the earth, pickets from the old battleground at Plattsburgh, with slabs, boards, timbers, rails, and hemlock logs and stumps, were thrown in for a foundation. So poor was the foundation that the walls soon settled and cracked badly.
Work was continued on the fort for three summers; proposals were made for three million bricks, to be used in its construction, and the whole estimated cost was $200,000.
In June 1818, companies of the 6th Regiment of regular soldiers, then stationed at Plattsburgh, were detached to work on the fort, and arrived there on the 19th of the month. Being so near the line, desertions to Canada were frequent, and on the 15th of Augus.t they were ordered back to Plattsburgh and detailed to work on the "Military Turnpike."
In October 1818, the Astronomical Agents of Great Britain and the United States started the survey of the line of latitude 45° N, which had been designated as the boundary-line between the United States and Canada. In January of the following year, to the chagrin of our government, the fort was found to be on Canadian soil, nearly a mile north of the boundary-line. Orders were immediately given to suspend all operations until the question of the site could be definitely arranged and settled. It is said that the contractors sued the government for the amount of the contract and obtained full damages.
The fort was left in an unfinished state and went to ruin. The copper, iron stone, and brick became common property. Some Canadian gentlemen came out to see it after work on it had ceased and suggested derisively that it had better be called “Fort Blunder,” by which name it has since been known.
The pilings of the present Fort Montgomery were commenced in the spring of 1843, after the Ashburton Treaty of August 1842, and continued until 1846 and the outbreak of the Mexican War when work was suspended until the close of that struggle. In 1861, when the Civil War started, the fort was immediately put on war footing.
Thirty-six gun carriages went through Burlington in January 1862 over the Rutland, and Vermont and Canada Railroads, destined for Fort Montgomery in Rouses Point, the headquarters of the Military Department, commanded by Col. Carlos Waite. The Fortification Bill passed by Congress in the same month appropriated $100,000 for the purpose of national defense at the fort. In 1865, some companies of the 26th NY Cavalry (1st Frontier Cavalry) patrolled the area following the St. Albans Raid of the previous October.

Just remember - the present fort is Fort Montgomery - “Fort Blunder” is long gone!
