Is this a mirage? No, what you see before you is Fort James, a testament to Antigua’s strategic past. Constructed between 1706 and 1739, Fort James stands guard at the entrance of St. John’s harbor. The British, ever fearful of French invasion, built this fort, along with many others, to protect their prized possessions in the Caribbean. Imagine the scene in the 18th century: Fort James, armed with 36 cannons, a garrison of 75 men, ready to defend the harbor. A cannon fired, not in anger, but to salute visiting ships, and to mark the sunrise and sunset each day. Today, while the barracks are gone, you can still explore the remnants of the powder magazine and the foundations of the fort’s walls. But the true treasure here is the breathtaking panorama of the harbor. Take a moment to soak in the view and imagine the stories these old walls could tell.
