Contest/Game - Identify this picture

It has been a while since I've seen a thread like this - the rules are simple: attempt to identify the location of the last posted picture in the thread. Once the picture poster confirms the first correct responder that person then gets to add a (sailing-related) picture to the thread and the game continues.

Since I'm no good at this type of guesswork my only chance of getting a picture into the thread is by starting it off with the following picture:

Geoff, take it away...Le. Marin is where we were. In Martinique, as you suggested.

Sorry, I was busy and I didn't think that my smartass comment constituted a guess, so I didn't realize that I was holding things up.

I don't think this has been posted before but shout at me if it has. Either the name of the fort or the town....

Wow, I thought this thread had died.


Errr, I never been there but isn't Gettysburg landlocked in the middle of Pennsylvania?

St Augustine, Florida.
Sorry, no.
This town played a roll in an iconic voyage. The fort is a little older, but not by that much.

Its a pitty to see this thread die! I quite enjoyed it!

Perhaps if the Mods can Mod it so it keeps going?
Not sure what the mods can do to help, other than participate which Faster and tdw have done. I have enjoyed this thread as well but it's getting harder to come up with new places and now that it's summer people would rather be outside applying bottom paint and cleaning their bilges. :) Maybe having had a bit of a rest, we can revive it.

No, sorry! Look to the North.
This is an old whaling town.
It had a role in both the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
The boat (and it's owner) are very famous (I used photoshop to obscure the name).
The harbor serves this town and another, larger town.
I'll see if I can dig up some more pictures.
