But in the quiet hamlet of Karainagar in the Northern Province stands a unique, fortified, small fort known as Fort Hammenhiel. The coxswain navigated the boat towards Fort Hammenhiel. The Dutch named the fort as Hammenhiel as the shape of the map (in that era) reminded them of a leg of smoked ham. During the British occupation of Hammenhiel they used the fort as an NDB- Naval Detention Barracks and later as an infectious disease holding clinic. Fort Hammenhiel stands as a solitary sentinel in the serene Northern seas.
