Man-of-war Harbour. l>esides these Avorks, the ' isolated sea-fort near Quarantine Bay, which we call the Quarantine Sea-fort, and also the Artillery Fort, had been so closed at their gorges by eartli- M'orks as to be turned into redoubts, now de- fended on the land side as well as on the side of the water.
