| Description |
Exterior walls of Fort Henry. Between 1832 and 1837, a second fort was built on the site of the first, and it is this fort that stands here today. It was considered even more necessary to fortify this point after the War of 1812, due to the completion of the Rideau Canal (built from 1826-32), placing Point Henry at the intersection of three important waterways: the Rideau Canal, the St. Lawrence River, and Lake Ontario. Fort Henry was intended to be the linchpin in a new, extensive system of defensive works for the defence of the confluence of these trading routes. Because the Rideau Canal went over budget only the fort and four Martello towers, spaced along the Kingston waterfront, were completed. Nonetheless, Fort Henry is the largest fortification west of Quebec city. The fort alone cost 70,000 British pounds sterling to construct, the equivalent of $35,000,000 in modern Canadian currency.
