The Search For Elephants: Part 1
After postulating that it would be amusing to just once come across an elephant crossing the road while on my drive to work my stealthy friend here seems to have taken it upon himself to actually track down a pedestrian pachyderm. I'm curious how far he will go...
Here the Dry Ditch Tower on the east side of Fort Henry in the forefront shows the line of sight ot the Martello Tower further east.
As you can see, restoration work is being done on the tower in the background. It is the fourth Martello Tower, Cathcart Tower, which stands unused on Cedar Island near Point Henry.
No less than four Martello Towers were built at Kingston, Ontario to defend its harbour and naval shipyards in response to the Oregon Crisis.
Two thin towers (of which this one in the foreground) were added to the existing fortifications at Fort Henry between 1845 and 1848. These are considered dry ditch defence towers, rather than true Martello towers.
The four independent towers were built as redoubts to defend against marine attacks. Two of Kingston's towers, Murney Tower and the tower at Point Frederick (at the Royal Military College of Canada) are maintained as museums which are open during the summer. Frederick Tower is further defended by earthen ramparts and a limestone curtain wall. The only Martello tower completely surrounded by water, the Shoal Tower, stands in Kingston's Confederation Basin and is opened to the public as part of Doors Open Ontario for one day only in June each year, (since 2005).
The Martello Towers along with, the Rideau Canal system and Fort Henry became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the summer of 2007.

Note that the Lee Valley has a combined Riding/Ice Centre. A bit slippery for the horses, I imagine. Also note that the WC is in the waterworks.
