Mouth of the Baaken’s River, 1865 - 1878
Scope and Contents
190 x 133 mm. Showing the mouth of the Baaken’s River spanned by the old wood and iron Union Bridge. On the hillside behind stands Fort Frederick, built in 1799, with the Military Hospital, formerly the Barracks, slightly below and to the right of the fort. An almost identical photograph is used in Redgrave, p 88. It is there dated 1860 but this does not appear to tally with the statement (p 90) that the bridge was destroyed in a storm in 1857.
