English Harbour, Antigua From Great George Fort, Monks Hill
View through Europeana Collections
This is a view of English Harbour in Antigua. The
harbour was one of the safest in the Caribbean because it was
almost completely surrounded by hills. This picture was drawn from
the Great George Fort, also known as Monks Hill, which was built to
defend the town of Falmouth. It took 16 years to build (1689-1705),
was set in 10 acres of land and was intended to be a place of
refuge for women and children in the event of an invasion. The view
extends across the harbour to the sugar plantations and hills of
Shirley Heights.
