Fort Charlotte
|
|
|
Begun in 1787, Fort Charlotte is the largest of Nassau's three major defenses, built with plenty of dungeons. It used to command the western harbor. Named after King George III's consort, it was built by Gov. Lord Dunmore, who was also the last royal governor of New York and Virginia. Its 42 cannons never fired a shot, at least not at an invader (only seven cannons remain on site). Within the complex are underground passages and a waxworks, which can be viewed on free tours. Tour guides at the fort are free but are very happy to accept a tip.
Open: Mon-Sat 8am-4pm.Free admission.Bus: 10 or 17.
