Poised above the Kingstown Bay, the Lowmans Bay and the Campden Park Bay, on the
historic site of Fort Charlotte, is the Signal Station, maintained by
the Port Authority.
Fort Charlotte, built in 1803,
served the British Military to defend the bays from approaching ships
of the French Military and with wheeled cannons from the indigenous
Carib inhabitants approaching from inland. The choice location of the
fort, overlooking the major ports of mainland St.Vincent serves today
as a manned lighthouse for passing fishing, cargo and passenger
vessels.
