Penang Day 3 – Part 3: Fort Cornwallis

Posted on October 31, 2008October 11, 2013 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Penang Day 3 – Part 3: Fort Cornwallis

After the temples, we went to Fort Cornwallis at Gurney. You will learn about the history of Francis Light and so on.


We parked the car along the road which this view is just on the left.


There we went to get ourselves educated about history. I forgot all of them already, it’s a refresher course ;p Still I don’t remember much except the name Francis Light. The entrance is not free, you have to pay. It’s RM3.


Various rooms showcasing artifacts.


Left: This is the pamphlet you will get after you pay. It got all the information in there but I didn’t read. It’s still in my luggage ;p
Right: Staircase leading to… (any word you like to put)


Left: Leading to this! ;p A cannon and view of the sea.
Right: More cannon.


Left, middle: You can pose with the gun and hat. ARG! I failed! Trying to act cool but fail miserably! I should just hold the gun up, instead I tried to act cool like blowing it after shooting, CHEH CRAZY! It’s more like I’m playing some musical instrument. *LOL*
Right: The camps, they are showing you how the British set them up at the fort last time.


Lastly, this is Francis Light’s letter. See the handwriting!?!?! It’s real! It’s not fake. They stored it inside the glass displaying unit. Is this handwriting of a human? I’m sure many of you will say that it’s more like coming out from computer. *LOL* WOW! If only I can write like this.

Next up will be temple post again… Busy, busy, busy…

    Oh my gosh… I love the handwriting! *LOL* You’re right, looks like computer printed with script font. 😛 Imagine how slowly he must be writing?

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
