A cross-island road from Portsmouth to the east coast begins near the mouth of the Indian River on the Caribbean side, meanders through coconut plantations, and ends near Sandwich Bay on the Atlantic side. At the junction of this east/west road with the main east-coast road (which runs north/south), you can turn left (north) toward the village of Pennville and zigzag along the steep shoreline. It s a beautiful des moine international airport up-and-down ride to secluded villages perched daringly on cliffs overlooking isolated Atlantic bays.
Slaves built Prince Rupert s Garrison from black volcanic rock cemented with mortar made from limestone found on offshore coral reefs. The red clay bricks seen in ovens and cisterns des moine international airport came from England. Over the years, both the French and English (depending on which nation was in control of the island) added to the buildings until the Cabrits held a fort (Fort Shirley), housing for 600 men, a hospital, seven gun batteries, and a cluster of storehouses. When the fortification was abandoned in 1854, the buildings des moine international airport fell into ruins, and the surrounding forest quickly engulfed the entire peninsula. In 1982, work began to clear vegetation away from the fort and restore some of the buildings.
