My son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law are being married in Antigua on Tuesday so I thought it fitting to post the only entry in my Antigua collection. This 1/2 c dark red brown stamp featuring Fort James (Scott 107) was issued in 1956.
Fort James was built in the early half of the 18th century in order to fortify St. Johns at the northern entrance of St. John's Harbour. The major draw to Fort James today is the ten canons that remain intact.
