Beautiful historic icon. There are a few informative signs around the area to fill you in on the history of the towers. Also a beautiful park to relax and enjoy the tower from.

Shoal Tower (1847) opposite Kingston City Hall, Ontario, Canada, was erected by the British to protect the entrance to the Rideau Canal. A second Martello tower is just across Kingston Harbor and there were two more in the area.

The Shoal Tower is a remnant of British - American tensions following the War of 1812. It was built as fortifications to provide defence for the shipyard as well as the entrance to Rideau Canal at Kingston Mills, towards the capitol of Ottawa.Nowadays, the Shoal Tower is a historic site on Kingston’s waterfront. It is not available to be visited but can be viewed from afar as part of strolling through Confederation Park and the docks.
