#Fort 8 #hoboken

During the 19th century building of the so called #Brialmont #fortifications around the city of #Antwerp. Technology evolved rapidly, however, and by the time they were ready they were already outdated. Built entirely of bricks they only had a limited adequacy during the Great War. Still, because of them, it took longer than anticipated for the Germans to occupy Antwerp.

Fort 8 is the best preserved and is accessible.

A circle with a solid brick wall to the left which arches to arching niches to the right (4 of them can be seen.) Every niche has a small window. Everything built out of red bricks, even the floor. The bricks on the floor are worn (but generally in good condition,) everything else is well preserved.

Since learning about this #fort (Castillo) when I was a college student, it became my favorite in the western hemisphere. The way that it rises from the rock with its imposing walls, dry moats, and firing positions in all directions always stood out to me.

The harbor of #havana was also full of people fishing both from shore and from boats, some of which were homemade using blocks to old styrofoam. In some cases, we even saw people spear fishing.
