Title:
Nassau, The Bahamas - Fort Fincastle on Bennett's Hill, overlooks the city and the harbor. It was built on its advantageous
site in 1793. Like Fort Charlotte, it serves as a signal station. The design of this fort is interesting and unusual -- its
ramparts circular with guns trained in full sweep over the town and harbor and its triangular bastion rising like a ship's
prow against possible attach from the rear.
