EditFort Frederick high above the sea with outstanding views of St. George´s, Grand Anse, Grand Etang and the southern part of the island. Along with three other forts, one just next door and eminently visitable, though not in good condition (the Americans bombed it in 1983), Fort Frederick was started by the French to secure their position after they had so easily captured the island from the British in 1779.
The French had confounded the British (who had been anticipating a naval attack) by attacking from inland. Not wanting to be caught out in the same way, the French constructed Fort Frederick with its cannons facing inland, rather than out to sea, earning it the nickname “”Backwards facing fort.
Fort Frederick
HistoryEdit
Fort George, the Island’s main fortificartion; the ruined hotel which was bombed in 1983 (another one !), having been taken over by Maurice Bishop’s party, thus housing his assassins at the time of the American “”intervention””.
The reason so many people remember Fort Frederick, though, is for its location.
It really does afford a world class view in every direction.
Go in the morning to look down onto St. George’s, the picturesque Carenage, the harbour, and Fort George.
