2006 CDSG VISIT - IMAGES BY TERRY McGOVERN

Unable to bring the large, unwieldly banca close enough to put a man ashore at the Sally Port, the banciero earned his pay for the day by climbing the sheer sides. The reinforced columns have all been shattered for the re-bar they contain. The innate strength of the concrete deck still holds the Fort intact.

On the port side is a wharf which was used for the temporary protection of moored craft. There was no entrance from it - except by ladder if you had one. The collapsed deck has fallen into the Engineering spaces. The vast void under the top deck has been scrapped of every column and supporting wall. The floor has collapsed into the Engineering Deck. One entire barrel has been stolen. Most of it recently.
