THE NINTH FORT is a part of the Kaunas Fortress, which was constructed in the late 19th century. During the occupation of Kaunas and the rest of Lithuania by the Soviet Union, the fort was used as a prison and way-station for prisoners being transported to labour camps. After the occupation of Lithuania by Nazi Germany, the fort was used as a place of execution for Jews, captured Soviets, and others.

Approaching City Island from the East.
The legend is this: During the American Revolution, the British would bring Colonialist sympathizers out to the rocks at low tide and chain them to the rocks. They would then slowly drown as the tide flooded the Sound. Local lore tells of the ghosts of the executed haunting the rocks. A lighthouse was erected in 1847-9 (with $25,000 appropriated from Congress). Because of the legends, any lighthouse keeper who asked for transfer from assignment there was granted one with no questions asked.
Apparently, all folk tales of midnight executions and hangings on the rocks are just that: legends and folk tales.
On one of the earliest charts of Long Island Sound dating back to the early or mid-1700s, the rocks are marked simply as The Executioners. They are mid-channel at the opening of the Sound and one would assume that there would be safe passage there. Many ships hit them and sank before the lighthouse was erected.

[Yanlin] Thank you for coming. The Queen is holding court. Wait in the back and she'll be with you shortly.
[Chunshan] Yesterday we spoke with your accuser. He told this court that you ran out of his store carrying a 50 pound bag of rice without paying for it. He brought two witnesses who both claimed they saw you do it. He showed us video footage of your crime. How do you plead?
[Hung] I beg the Queen for mercy.
[Queen Ming] Mercy you ask for? Have I not already done so twice before? The first time I gave you a warning by taking one of your hands. Last time I took your other hand for stealing also. I have shown you mercy but you continuously throw it right back at me. My goodness has it's limits, and we must set an example for everyone to follow.
[Fang] *slice* I love how this sword slices through flesh like butter.
[Heng] My Queen, Tex has arrived.
[Tex] That feller was as yellow as mustard but without the bite.
[Queen Ming] Just the person I wanted to see. Are you hungry? Let's go next door and enjoy our Chinese New Year's feast. I prefer to talk business while eating.

This is what happens when you try to photograph yourselves and feed each other at the same time. Phil's head is not actually that much larger than mine in real life.

Execution of John the Baptist and Salome bringing his head to the table with Herod. I think the medieval headgear is amazing.
