Fort De Lesseps

Fort De Lesseps was a small U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps fort located at the northern tip of Colón, Panama.

It consisted of only one battery of two six-inch guns called battery Morgan, which were located across from the Hotel Washington.

It had a spur from the railyards to its dock, where there was an administration building and barracks.

Around the corner from the dock were five officers' houses and a theater.

Between the gun batteries and hotel there was a sea-level swimming pool.
