Fredericksbourg, Fort Danois / Frederiksburg, Deens Fort.

Key: _A-C).

This fort was held by the Dutch in 1725.

Possibly this could be a depiction of the Danish fort of Frederiksborg at Cabo Cors. Both forts were identified by the name 'Koningsfort'. In compiling his 'Histoire Générale Des Voyages, Ou Nouvelle Collection De Toutes Les Relations De Voyages Par Mer Et Par Terre [...]' Du Bois failed to distinguish clearly between the two.
