Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Fort Frederick in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, was built in 1799 in order to stop the French from conquering the Cape Colony during the Napoleonic wars and played a vital role in establishing British rule in South Africa in combination with the Battle of Blaauwberg. The fort has never fired a shot from its guns.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Fort Frederick in Port Elizabeth was die eerste permanente militêre basis aan die oosgrens van die Kaapkolonie. Waarskynlik is dit die oudste nog bestaande gebou uit die Britse koloniale geskiedenis in Suider-Afrika. Die stad Port Elizabeth het rondom die fort ontwikkel.
