Fog and gun

Looking towards the Port Elizabeth Harbour from on top of Fort Frederick on a foggy day like this makes one wonder how nervous a lookout stationed here would have been when there was fog over the sea.  The harbour is barely visible, so on a foggy day it would have been quite easy invading the bay without today’s modern equipment that could have warned of an invasion.  Luckily the fort never had to fire a shot in anger.
