Fort William, protector of the Cape Coast Castle
2023 Cape Coast, Ghana
Fort William is a small fort perched above Cape Coast, Ghana, built to help defend the larger Cape Coast Castle nearby; the fort later served as a lighthouse guiding ships along the Gulf of Guinea coast, a role tied to the region's long history as a center of Atlantic trade.
