Fort Frederick, Military fort in Kingston, Canada
Fort Frederick features a Martello tower with a diameter of 18 meters at its base and stands 14 meters high on Point Frederick.
The fort participated in the Battle of Kingston Harbour in 1812, successfully defending against an American naval squadron under Commodore Isaac Chauncey.
The Royal Military College Museum within Fort Frederick preserves military artifacts and documents from the early development of Canadian defense structures.
