Design for fort at the east bank of the Demerara estuary

Title Leupe: Fort aan den mond der rivier Demerary op 's Comps. Pad Oostwal.

This map forms part of Johan Christoph Heneman’s project plans for the Demerara defences of 1774-1775.

The maps under VEL1554-7 show two forts designed for the river mouth, both of which also feature on his survey on his overview under VEL660.

This is plan VI for a fort on the eastern bank at the mouth of the Demerara River.

A profile of the fortress has been drawn below on the map.

Scale-bars of 20 Rhineland Rods = [approximately 1 : 775] / [profile] 60 feet [or] 5 Rhineland Rods = [approximately 1 : 175].
