Very interesting. And timely with the Fort Mose celebrations currently underway.

The armies that fort saw... the men an women who passed through there over time... incredible...  8)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Interesting how detailed the cropped pictures are.  That was high resolution photography to rival today's best cameras  ;D.

Maybe an archaeologist/historian could identify those locations on St. George Street.  One would think some remnants would also remain given the alleged representations of the age of buildings along that street  8).
