Plan for a coastal bastion

Title Leupe: Fortificatiewerk voor de Zuidbay van St. Cruz.

This sketch contains one of the plans for the fortification of Curaçao’s coastline. The depicted bastion is a prototype which could be constructed at mutliple locations, although since the intial designs in 1742 it is now apparent this bastion is specifically designed for the Piscedera, Sint Michiel and Santa Cruz Bays. The two shown floor plans hardly differ from the one made a year earlier (VEL1461A and D).
