Description
The rectangular fortress/castle has an arrowhead shaped bastion on each of its four corners. Castillo de San Marcos at Saint Augustine, Florida. The furnace on the right was used to heat shot red hot before firing. I suppose they must have used plenty of wadding, and this would have been quite dangerous in any case. Imagine loading red hot shot on top of a gunpower charge!
