About Fort Wynyard - Landmark

On June 11, 1795, a squadron of British warships anchored in False Bay. In reaction the commander of the Cape forces ordered that a new battery, Kijk-in-de-pot Battery, be built on a hillock overlooking what is now Granger Bay. Kijk-in-de-pot referenced the blubber pots of the whaling station in Granger Bay directly below the battery.
