The 18th-century coral-stone fort that once defended George Town against Spanish privateers, reduced today to a foundation outline and a couple of mounted cannons on a quiet stretch of the waterfront just north of the cruise tender pier. The site is open, free, and useful for a five-minute pause and a view across the harbour.
The interpretive panels tell the story of the islands' early defences and the Wreck of the Ten Sails of 1794, when ten British ships ran aground simultaneously off Grand Cayman's East End and the locals' rescue effort was rewarded with what is sometimes said to have been a permanent waiver of taxes from George III.
