EU: Fort William (1966)
1966 Cape Coast, Ghana
Fort William stands on a hill above Cape Coast, Ghana, one of several coastal fortifications raised during the European trading era on the Gold Coast. By the time this picture was taken in 1966, the old fort had long been repurposed as a lighthouse guiding ships toward the harbor below.
