Some shots from our trip to the Dry Tortugas last week. The Islands are ~70 miles southwest of Key West and the farthest point south in the US. Hope you enjoy them!

Cool! Thanks for posting!
I never got there.
(I was leery about the title, but am so glad you posted pics instead of asking "where to shoot" like many people do!)

Great shots and I hope to get there someday. I believe the furthest point south in the US states is in Hawaii at Ka Lae Point on the big island and on the US territories Palmyra Island about 5 -52'-15" N. I've been to the one in Hawaii but Palmyra is also on my bucket list. chase

Just what they told me on the tour. Think of the keys as a shallow land mass and Dry Tortuga is the southern end of the continental US and not an island far out in the Pacific Ocean! lol! Thanks for the comment! Regards, Robert

Steffro, these are awesome images! My wife and I have been to the Keys about a dozen times, but we never took the time to visit the Dry Tortugas National Park. (I think that's going to change the next time we go!

Thanks for sharing!

Very good images of the fort. I especially like the last shot of the 10" Parrott rifle (no pun intended.)
