Fort Fincastle
The small fort of Fincastle was built 1793 overlooking the city
of Nassau. It served as a lighthouse until 1819 and was
subsequently used as a signal tower. Reached by climbing the
Queen's Staircase, the tower is New Providence's highest point.
This fort's 'bow' is patterned like a Mississippi paddle-wheel
steamer and was originally built to defend Nassau against
invasion.
