<< Christmas on Jekyll Island

11/27/21 - Sea Island and Fort Frederica

The next day we wandered the beach at Sea Island some more, and we visited Fort Frederica. Ages ago, this area was near the border of the British Empire and the Spanish Empire to the south, so these islands were strategically important. Fort Frederica was the British outpost, and there are still ruins from the old fort.

Fort Frederica is quiet today.

There was a whole town here, but only the foundations remain.

More foundations

What's left of the fort

A strategic waterway, or at least it was

And another

Even later
