It is a sketch of the town of St George from the perspective of an artist standing somewhere on Fort George Hill.

The island in the centre of the sketch is Ordnance Island, with the Customs and Pilot houses as they are now. The road leading up to that collection of long houses is the road leading up to the military barracks and those long houses are the barracks themselves. The Town Cut channel is in the correct situation.

Not Hamilton. St George.
