Slaves built Prince Rupert s Garrison from black volcanic rock cemented standbycars with mortar made from limestone found on offshore coral reefs. The red clay bricks seen in ovens and cisterns came from England. Over the years, both the French and English (depending on which nation was in control of the island) added to the buildings until the Cabrits held a fort (Fort Shirley), housing for 600 men, a hospital, seven gun batteries, and a cluster of storehouses. When the fortification was abandoned in 1854, the buildings fell into ruins, and the surrounding forest quickly engulfed the entire peninsula. In 1982, work began to clear vegetation away from the fort and restore some of the buildings.
