Fort Frank, Military fortification in Manila Bay, Philippines
Fort Frank spans 18 hectares on Carabao Island, featuring steep cliffs that rise 30 meters above Manila Bay with strategic coastal defense positions.
The United States Army constructed Fort Frank in 1913 as part of Manila Bay's defense system, naming it after Brigadier General Royal T Frank.
The fort represents a significant period of American military presence in the Philippines, highlighting the early 20th-century colonial defense infrastructure.
Access to Fort Frank requires boat transportation from Cavite City, with visits subject to local administrative permissions and weather conditions.
The fort contains a network of tunnels where thirty-four soldiers lost their lives in 1942 when Japanese artillery fire entered through an opening.
