Manfro is de naam van de heuvel waar het fort bij Pocquesoe op stond. Het was van 1683 tot 1717 het enige Pruissische fort in Ghana. In 1725 kwam het in handen van de WIC en werd het omgedoopt tot fort Hollandia. Gezien de ligging op de onderste afbeelding tussen Cabo Cors en Mouree, is het waarschijnlijk dat met 'Manfroe' het Deense fort Frederiksborg bij Cabo Cors bedoeld wordt. Dat wordt, evenals het Pruissische fort bij Pocquesoe met de naam 'Koningsfort' aangeduid.

Manfro was the name of the hill on which the fort at Pocquesoe was situated. From 1683 to 1717 it was the only Prussian fort in Ghana. In 1725 it fell to the Dutch West India Company (WIC) and was renamed Fort Hollandia. However, in view of the location indicated in the bottom image, between Cabo Cors and Mouree, it is likely that 'Manfroe' refers to the Danish fort of Frederiksborg near Cabo Cors. This was known as 'Koningsfort', as was the Prussian fort at Pocquesoe.
