Geocache Description:

Small peanut butter Jar

Located at the water edges of St. David's Island in the eastern parish of St. George Bermuda, Fort Popple was built by the British in 1730s.

In 1738, when Alured Popple became the governor of Bermuda, he figured out that all the existing forts were becoming dilapidated and the guns were rusting.

He decided to revamp all the existing forts and started a major repair and renovation work in the island. At that time, he also built a small new fort at Little Head in St. David's Island.

This small fort located right at the water edges was named in his honor and was called Fort Popple. Being so close to the water edges, the fort required frequent repairs. In 1793 Captain Andrew Durnford repaired the fort and in early 1800s, 7 guns were mounted on Fort Popple to protect St. David's, St. George's, Southampton Fort and Smith's Fort.
