Seddulbahir (Wall of the Sea)

An appropriate name. The fort was decommissioned during (quite literally) the first day of action as the British shelled it by way of declaring war. The picture was taken from Europe; on the far side you can see Asia and the likely location of Kumkale (Sand Castle), which was similarly decommissioned.
