The 27" thick exterior walls are constructed of rubble masonry, most of which con­ sists of the local "blue-bitch** stone stuccoed with a project­ ing watertable, highly refined Georgian period molded brick cornice, and brick quoining at the corners. The front (east) facade has a large double entrance door centered in the wall, set into a recessed round arched opening which is lined with yellow brick. A flat tympanum is created above the entrance by a molded brick shelf and cornice strip which extends the full width of the arch. A vertical pair of shortened round arched windows flank the entrance. The window openings are lined with brick which extends vertically to form rectangular panels above the arches. There are projecting brick lug sills and all openings are fitted with copper clad shutters. The end walls have a pair of similar size arched windows at the second floor level while the rear wall has three windows, all with the same brick detailing as used in the front facade. The Garrison House is surrounded by a 10' wide by 4' deep dry moat bounded by a 27" thick rubble and brick wall. The front wall is surmounted by eight 27" x 27" brick columns which have molded bases, capital bands, crown molds and pyramidal tops, and are notched to a wood palisade fence. Sections of the rails for this fence remain. The side walls had one such column in line with the front facade, and a series of 6" square posts, the rear wall of the dry moat is set into the slope of the hill behind the house and at some points is at grade. The house is reached by an enclosed flight of ten masonry and brick steps to the level of the top of the wall and then across a fixed brick bridge to the central entrance door. Fort Willoughby The remains of this battery consist of a modified hornwork with gun platforms at either end, a 30' x 18' barracks and magazine with a triangular cistern attached to the south face, and the ruins of a free standing 24' x 18' cookhouse north of the barracks. . .I.V Form No. 10-300a (Rev. 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NFS USE ONLY RECEIVED 2 W5 jE 1S .1976; BATE ENTERED CONTI NU ATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER #3 PAGE one The Virgin Islands Government, Department of Conservation and Cultural Affairs has initiated discussions with property owners of Hassel Island with the intention of acquiring all or part of the proposed historic district.

The scarp is surrounded on two sides by a masonry rubble breastwork in the form of a low parapet wall, which in all probability originally reached the height of 3' or more and was provided with embrasures for the cannon. The breastwork terminates with a gun platform at the northeast corner where it joins the wall of the barracks, and at an elevated half bastion with gun platform at the southwest ex­ tremity where it joins the rock face of the hill to the west. The floor of the terreplein is stone. The one story barracks and magazine is north of the ho rnwork and is reached by three shallow flights of stone stairs. The rubble masonry structure is divided into three rooms: a 7' 6" x 8' 4" store room; a 5* x 7' 5” magazine with a vaulted ceiling in the north section; and a 16' x 15' barracks in the southern half. Walls are masonry rubble with brick linings at door and window openings and brick quoins at the corners. The interior walls and the vaulted ceiling were stuccoed and the exterior walls left uncovered. All of the openings are segmental arches with no applied decoration. The roof is gone but there are remains of a wood structural system for a flat roof, probably brick. A triangular cistern, tire top of which is slightly higher than the floor of the barracks, is attached to the south wall with stuccoed battered walls extending to the terreplein below. The ruins of a one-story masonry rubble, with basement, flat roofed cookhouse are located approximately 30' north of the barracks. Three of the four walls remain. There are also remnants of a stone staircase leading to the sea between these two buildings.

The battery is unusual in plan, being two equal circles intersecting to form a "figure 8". The battery is entered from the west by a short flight of stone stairs, to the south of which is a stone cistern. The floors of the two partial circles are composed of two concentric circles in each section, the inner circle being rubble and the outer ring pav­ ing block. The parapet wall is 5' high on the interior and slopes away from the center to grade, which varies from 10' to 15'. The parapet is masonry rubble with a brick coping and is stuccoed on the exterior face. There are no indications of embrasures cut into the wall but they may exist under the stucco, since the battery was rebuilt at least once. There is a .semi-circular bastion along the south facade of the battery at the point where the two circles join. A mast and yard arm were installed in the center of the battery when the structure was used as a signal station. There is also a mid-Gothic masonry, three-room house with hip roof and a concrete block, gabled-roof rest room of recent construction. Neither of these structures is of architectural significance.

Colonel Charles Shipl^ STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The southern third of Hassel Island contains well preserved military for­ tifications constructed by British forces when twice occupying St. Thomas during the. Napoleonic Wars. The structures are of significance for they are probably the only physical monuments remaining on United States territory built by the British during this period. The first occupation OMCdurred from April 2, 1801 and lasted until February 16, 1802. The second was for a longer period; December 25, 1807 to April 5, 1815. The British fortified and posted Hassel Island during both periods, building harbor defenses and support facilities. The fortification of Hassel Island was ordered by Lieut...General Thomas Trigge who in a letter to the war office dated April 13, 1801 reported "As the town is considered to be particular unhealthy and the Fort is situated at one of the extremities; I have thought it necessary, as well as on this account, as to afford greater protection to the place to order the Post to be established on the Peninsula which forms the West Side of the Bay; and have directed barracks to be erected capable of containing two hundred men, to be built by contract and completed by the 28 of the next month. Construction who on July and stated timates for men each... Subalterns.. House, Store a Battery on pounds heavy responsibility was given to Lieut. Colonel Charles Shipley 16, 1801 reported the estimates for constructing the works the whole is very nearly completed__ " Among Shipley's es- the works included: "...Five barracks to contain forty-eight , Barracks calculated to contain two companies, and eight .. Fort Shipley, including the Officers, and Men's Guard Rooms, Casemated-^Magazine, Flag Staff, Palaades__Erecting the High ground to the South of the Peninsula for Two 24 . ."2 ^Letter; General Bionas Trigge to War Office, i^ril 13, 1801 WO 1/90-5861 Public Record Office, london .. ^Letter; lieut.

The battery's two 24 pounders commanded the south western approach to the harbor. Shipley rebuilt a previously existing small Danish water battery at the harbor mouth and named it Fort Willoughly. Also constructed was Fort Shipley, a palasade and battery on the northwest extremity of the island that covered the haulover and secured the British from attack on the landward side of the peninsula. The first occupation ended in February 1802 and the islands were rer- stored to Denmark. St. Thomas was surrender again in December 1807 to a combined military and naval force commanded by Admiral Alexander Cochran and General Henry Bowyer. The British again established their base at Hassel Island. Nissen records "They left this time a whole regiment of about fifteen hundred men and to lodge these more barracks were built at Careenin^ole. "3 The previously constructed fortifications were restored and a Magazine (Garrison House) was constructed. Fearful of French attack on West Indian shipping to Europe, the British assembled large convoys at St. Thomas under the shelter the guns of Fort Willoughly and Cowell's Battery. The August convoys were the largestr frequently numbering no less than four hundred merchant ships and escorts. With the restoration of the islands to Denmark in 1815, the forts and batteries reverted to the peace time use enforcing port duties and customs. Vessels failing to pay the port duties were "brought to" by the guns of the batteries. "The gauntlet is sometimes run, however, to the no small interest and amusement of the residents upon t^e hills, but not for the vessel, should she ever return to St. Thomas." Cowell's Battery was converted into a government signal station with the construction of a mast and yardarm. A system of signals relying on four black spheres and flags was established to alert the town, and notify pilots as to the nationality, type, point from which they are coming, of all vessels passing or entering the port. The signal sta­ tions was in operation until 1974. ^ Nissen, Carl Peter. "The Diary of Captain Carl Peter Nissen 1792- 1837." Manuscript copy Pg. 2. 4Knox, John P.

James Hazzel Sr. deeded his interest in the "Hurricane Hole" to his son James Jr. on January 29, 1817. Hazzel decendents retained interests or rights on the island until March 24, 1943 when the widow of a later James Hazzel and other heirs sold their interest to Issac Paiewonsky. Hassel Island's other historic names are Carejgninghole, Orcanshullet, Orkan Island and Hurricanehole.
