Fort Duvernette

Fort Duvernette is a ruined fortification in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It sits atop a 190-foot (58 m) tall basalt volcanic plug off Young Island. During the British colonial period, the fort, which has two batteries, was manned by British Marines. In 1795, the fort and its garrison played a role in saving the survivors of a Carib attack on a British convoy during the Second Carib War. The fort ceased to have a military purpose by 1878 and in 1971 was handed to the St. Vincent and the Grenadines National Trust.
