FORT FREDERIGA, SEA ISLAND, GEORGIA
Fort Frederica was built in 1736 by British forces under the
direction of General James Edward Oglethorpe, founder and first
Governor of Georgia. This fortification became the military head-
quarters for the defense of Georgia and the other British Colonies
against the Spaniards in Florida and was the most expensive forti-
fication built by the British in North America. Fort Frederica is
now a National Monument under the direction of the National
Park Service.
