Moon Author's Review
Fort Haldane, or sparse and scattered remains of it, are located on a road that cuts across the point jutting into the sea, forming the western flank of Port Maria's harbor. The road runs between the Anglican Church and the middle of the bend on the other side of the hill on Little Bay. Two cannons overgrown with bush aim out to sea just past the oldest structure on the premises, a low brick building sitting alongside discarded car parts. The Fort was built in 1759 for coastal defense during the Seven Years' War and named after then-governor George Haldane. The property was later a home for the elderly, called Gray's Charity, but has since fallen into disuse. The gates to this seldom-visited historical site are typically left ajar and are otherwise unlocked.
