"Though not an island, Gibraltar is connected with the Spanish mainland only by a flat strip of sandy ground. The rock, which is about 2 1/2 miles in length, rises to a height of 1400 feet. At the base and on the summit are powerful batteries, while the sides are pierces with loopholes and galleries for cannon. There is also an inclosed harbor in which a fleet can safely anchor. Gibraltar has remained in British hands since 1704."—Webster, 1920.
