Really enjoyed seeing the photographs of the fort over the years. Especially the ones taken from lake Ontario showing the retaining wall and the waves crashing

My father took me there in the early nineties. We saw the torture chamber but they had it roped off because the floor was at risk of collapsing. He said when he was a child, his father took him there and they would allow some visitors to go in the room and they would close this very thick wooden door allowing everyone to see how dark it was. Dad said that prisoners were chained to the walls and that they would beat their heads on the walls there because they would go insane. He then remarked that it must have been repainted because of the stains. That was more interesting to me than the story of the ghost.

Always critics! I thought it was just fine, and touched on a period of history so little known to the general populace.

This was really poorly put together. Too many shots of soldiers shooting a rifle without talk of how the fort was built first in France, assembled here, how the fort was located so the Captain could sneak out of a tunnel. Just so shallow like typical History Channel stuff.

You're right. It is truly strange how they didn't mention that absolute tale of fiction you just uttered.

“This is not a movie, it’s not a made up facade, it’s real history”
… uh no shit. That’s what history is. Real events not made up. Such high level analysis by todays ivory tower academics 🙄

[@historicalarmsofamerica2039]

I guess you didn't understand his reference about the orginal structures that exist there today. Most histortic forts that exist in modern time are recreations, facades that are made up to recreate the orginial structure. Fort Ticonderoga, Fort Geroge, William Henry etc. Some are literally movie props. That is his reference.
