Fort James origins date back from 1760s. British built a ‘guard house’ and barracks as early as 1764. Four years later permanent barracks were constructed and the fort was put in a better state of defense. Fort James site is well maintained by the Tourism bureau and it is possible to see the remains of the fortification made of low coral limestone and faced volcanic stone walls, with brick work at their corners. In the bastion shaped structure are present four cannons: two 18 pounder showing the Tudor double-rose; one 18 pounder and one 6 pounder marked GR (George Rex). Also present the Powder magazine and a brick furnace to heat the shot before firing from the muzzle-loading cannons, for the purpose of setting fire to enemy warship (French improved the old time-consuming method of heating round shot by covering in the coals of a large wood fire by using specially-constructed furnaces to heat shot in their artilleries). Fort James was captured by the French in 1781, retaken by the British in 1793, occupied by the French again in 1802 and captured by the British under Sir Samuel Hood in 1803. Fort James is part of Eurochamtt Historical Itineraries at La Tartaruga, Buccoo Bay.

The site of the oldest town in Tobago.Courlanders from Kurzeme - Latvia lived there from 1639-1693. Beautiful monument made by artist Janis Mintiks. Even grass is smelling like in summer in Latvia.

We enjoyed seeing the Tombstone during our Island Tour with Jonathan Daniel of Ted Sunshine Tours. It took us back to a much earlier time in some of the difficult origins of Tobago history.
