During the Napoleonic Wars it was thought that the guns at the fort were insufficient to guard the harbour, so in 1807, three 24 pounders on traversing carriages were installed on the seaward side of the fort. The fort is built of rectangular cut stone and has several openings toward the sea. Inside the fort is the remains of the circular base for the rotation of guns which were placed there so that they could shoot from every possible angle. The Artillery Store still stands and is made of cutstone. It has buttesses and a gable ended roof. A section of the fort currently forms part of the Rusea's High School.
Minimum of 2 persons. Price will decrease with each additional person over two persons.

Departing
from Montego Bay where you are picked up at your hotel approximately
10:00 am, your journey to the north coast of Jamaica, we’ll
take you through the town of Montego Bay passing an old British
Fort namely Fort Charles which is located at the former entrance
to the once village now town of Montego Bay. 
Continuing
through the town of Montego Bay passing the historical Monument
called the Dome. From this spot fresh spring water flowed year round
and until recently when the entire area was covered up it could
have supplied most of Montego Bay with drinking water. Traveling
on the coast line you then begin to approach some of Jamaica’s
premier hotels, homes of movie stars and other celebrities. The
Kennedy’s and several governors of the United States have
their homes here. These properties are named Round Hill Hotel and
Tryall Estate.
Fort
Charlotte, located in Lucea, in the parish of Hanover, was built
in the mid 18th Century by the British for the defence of the North
North Westerly section of the island. It was built during the reign
of King George III of England, and is named after his consort, Charlotte.
The fort was built with a barrack capable of housing 50 men. The
fort had 23 embrasures for 23 guns, 20 of which were mounted.
