Notes: Monk's Hill Fort was begun in 1689 in the Falmouth Division of Saint Paul's Parish overlooking Falmouth Harbor and, although its location was not ideal, much labor, mostly slave labor, was spent constructing it.Kane William Horneck was the surveyor of these maps. Antigua served as the headquarters for the British Caribbean fleet which was based at English Harbor during the late eighteenth century.
