[1] Located in George Town, Grand Cayman, the structure stands on the corner of Harbour Drive and Fort Street.
Fort George was built using local coral rock and limestone ironshore with its design being based largely on the English fortifications of the time.
In 1802, when Edward Corbet came to Grand Cayman to compile a report for the Governor of Jamaica, he found the Fort "by no means well equipped" with only "three guns, four to six pounders", rather than the eight required by the original scheme.
Members of the Home Guard, whose barracks were located next to the fort at Dobson Hall, would climb up into the tree's branches to watch for German submarines, many of which patrolled Caribbean waters hunting for merchant ships setting out to cross the Atlantic with supplies bound for English ports.
The developer started the demolition of the structure, however, because of the objections raised by the local public, destruction of the site was halted.
