Carleton Martello

Posted by Walt (Scarborough, Canada) on 1 September 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Originally built for the War of 1812, a war that merits pages and pages of Canadian History but only a brief mention in the American curriculum (they lost), this tower had the addition put on top (above the stone) to help guard the St. John harbour during World War I.

I was initially very disappointed when it was foggy during my photo tour of St. John. However, I'm thrilled with many of the shots, so hey, fog is okay with me.
