The fort itself is nothing special. There are four cannons among the bushes, and that's it. This fort was built in the 1700s to defend Jamaica's coast.

The beautifully landscaped Harmony Beach Park, covering 16 hectares, is free to use. The water is pleasantly warm.

Samuel Sharpe (1801-1832) is one of Jamaica's seven national heroes. In 1831, the Christmas Rebellion of slaves took place in Montego Bay, of which Sharpe was likely unaware. The military suppressed the uprising, and Sharpe was subsequently executed at the site of the memorial. The rebellion prompted two detailed parliamentary inquiries, which contributed to the abolition of slavery in 1833 through the Slavery Abolition Act.

There was even that typical smell of slightly intoxicating smoke in the air... Yeah Man! 🤪

Born in St. James, Sharpe was an enslaved house servant in Montego Bay. He made use of opportunities to teach himself how to read, and these literacy skills were sharpened by his interest in reading the Bible and the newspapers from his enslaver's house. After his baptism, he quickly rose to become a deacon at the Thomas Burchell-led Baptist Church. His passionate and powerful speeches, his leadership position in the church and his firm belief that slavery was unjust won him widespread respect and admiration. Sharpe was executed in the Montego Bay Market Place on May 23, 1832 for his role in the 1831-1832 Emancipation War, also known as the Baptist War and the Christmas Rebellion. In 1976 this area was aptly renamed Sam Sharpe Square in honour of the work and legacy of Samuel Sharpe. He was later conferred with the Order of the National Hero on March 31, 1982. It was previously called Charles Square, named after Sir Charles Knowles, Governor of Jamaica from 1752 to 1756. The square was designed by James Lawrence, who was the Custos of the parish in 1755.
