RMC is located on Point Frederick, a small peninsula at the point where the St. Lawrence River leaves Lake Ontario and where the Rideau Canal System starts. The location has been an active military base since 1789 and was an important naval base during the War of 1812. Additional military fortifications near by are Fort Frontenac, originally established in 1673 across the Rideau River from Point Frederick and Ft Henry, constructed between 1832-36.



I visited one of the four Martello Towers that formed part of the defenses of Fort Frederick, which protected the Kingston Naval dockyard.
