There are the remains of an imposing old fort at Nassau also. 'A moat, now nearly dry, surrounds the walls. . . . This fortification must, in the old days, have been an almost impregnable stronghold, for its walls are, at least on the sides towards the sea, 500 feet long, 20 feet high, and over 15 feet in thickness.' Like the forts at Agra, Delhi, and other places, it is today occupied, laments Mr. Walcott, 'by peaceful dwellings, gardens, tennis courts, while trees and undergrowth have taken the place of cannon on its ramparts.'⁵
