Description
Nederlands: Gezicht op fort Groot Frederiksborg te Princes Town.

Konings Fort te Manfro, uit Barbot.

Fort Royal de Manfro, tiré de Barbot.

Manfro is de naam van de heuvel waar het fort op stond. Het was van 1683 tot 1717 het enige Pruissische fort in Ghana. In 1725 kwam het in handen van de WIC en werd het omgedoopt tot fort Hollandia.

Op dezelfde pagina staat een afbeelding van fort Amsterdam te Cormantijn.

Het kan zijn dat het het Deense fort Frederiksborg bij Cabo Cors betreft. Ook dat wordt wel met de naam 'Koningsfort' aangeduid. Du Bois heeft bij het samenstellen van zijn 'Histoire Générale Des Voyages, Ou Nouvelle Collection De Toutes Les Relations De Voyages Par Mer Et Par Terre [...]' het onderscheid tussen deze twee forten niet duidelijk gemaakt.

Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag, inv. nr. 693 C 5 dl III, to. p. 379.
English: View of Fort Groot Frederiksborg at Princes Town.

Konings Fort te Manfro, uit Barbot.

Fort Royal de Manfro, tir?? de Barbot.

Manfro is the name of the hill on which the fort was built. From 1683 to 1717 it was the only Prussian fort in Ghana. In 1725 it fell into the hands of the WIC and was renamed Fort Hollandia.

The same page features a picture of Fort Amsterdam at Cormantin.

The fort could be the Danish fort of Frederiksborg at Cabo Cors, which was also referred to as 'Koningsfort' (King's Fort). In compiling his 'Histoire G??n??rale Des Voyages, Ou Nouvelle Collection De Toutes Les Relations De Voyages Par Mer Et Par Terre [...]' Du Bois made no clear distinction between these two forts.
