Fort Patience - Apam
In the late 17th century, the small state of Acorn - sandwiched between the larger British allies of Agona and Fante sought to have a strong fort built on its territory to defend it in case of attack. The Dutch, while willing to erect a fort at Apam, were in no position to build a large one.
Building of the fort commenced in 1697 on the summit of a promontory close to a sheltered beach and bay. However, disagreement between the two sides concerning the form of the fort delayed its completion until 1702. Hence the name they gave to the fort - Lijdzaamheid, meaning patience.
The initial structure was a "small two-storey house". Between 1701 and 1721, this was Strengthened with two demi-bastions at diametrically opposite corners.
