First built by the Spanish, then occupied by the French, Dutch, and finally the English, the old coastal fort has fallen into disrepair. Most of the old structures were recycled as building materials for nearby farms. Today, only two prominent gun emplacements remain to tell the story of the imperial power once symbolized by cannons overlooking the bay. Today they overlook residential towers and the seafront promenade, and the only warships that ply these waters are those of the Royal Sisters Navy.

A small commercial center and a park on the edge of the city, where the bigger buildings give way to suburbs covering the foothills like a carpet. A small plaque near the tennis court reveals the history of this place: "On this spot in 1909, the first automobile fatality in the Twin Sisters took place. A local doctor, named Whycliffe , lost control of his Ford Model T and crashed in a copse of trees located some distance off the road. It is apparent he had been drinking heavily while attending the birth of triplets at a distant lumber camp; The delivery is said to have gone as planned, thanks only to a lumberjack with midwife training. Whycliffe lies buried in the Old Resurrection Burying Ground in central Motherstone."
