Source: Chelsea Synychych, August 2011.
Constructed between 1732 and 1772, Prince of Wales Fort had forty-two cannon mounted along the parapet commanding every approach to the fortress. Without firing a shot, the cannon and the fort were captured and partially destroyed in 1782 by Jean-Francois Compte de La Perouse.
