| Description |
Fort Grey, colloquially known as the "cup and saucer", is a Martello tower located on a rock in Rocquaine Bay on the west coast of Guernsey. Built as a defence by the British in the 19th century, it has been adapted for other uses. It now operates as a local shipwreck museum, housing a number of salvaged artifacts from famous wrecks, including the MV Prosperity and Elwood Mead. The French called the rock upon which the tower was built the Chateau de Rocquaine (Castle of Rocquaine). It was said to be the site of local witches' Sabbaths at one time. |
