18th century quadrant wharf on the main road in Discovery Bay

"This 18th century quadrant wharf on the main road in Discovery Bay, has been preserved and maintained by Kaiser Bauxite as an historical landmark. A plaque at the entrance reads: "In 1977 a fort was equipped with cannons as a defence against possible French invasion during the American War of Independence. During the Spanish American War guns were shipped from here to Cuba."
