A sea fort is (in its classic form) a fort completely surrounded by water by virtue of being off a coast. It may be a fortified island, built on a large part of an island or a tidal island, a construction built on the sea bed, or consist of steel towers erected on the seabed. The builders have sought to command a sea lane or block a potential landing place. Being surrounded by water impedes a land attack.
