Kingston's Fort Frederick

Also on the tour of Kingston's Naval history is old Fort Frederick. It is located at the tip of Point Frederick and was originally an earthwork fort built to protect the Royal Navy Dockyard and the town of Kingston.

On 10 Nov. 1812, it was attqacked by American ships and repulsed the attack.

The current stone fort and tower was built between 1846 and 1847 and replaced the War of 1812 one. Of course, this might technically have been going against the Rush-Bagot Agreement. Today, it is part of the Royal Military College of Canada.
