Fort James
Fort James was originally built in 1651 on an island off the south bank of the Gambia river as Jacob Fort as a trading post for the Duchy of Courland and named after its ruler, Jacob Kettler. It was captured by the Dutch during the Northern Wars later that decade and then they soon lost it to the British who renamed it Fort James. It was variously described as a 'trading post' or a 'slave fort'.
