The building was first constructed by the British under Governor Hope-Smith in 1820, and it was named Smith's Tower. In the 1830s it was reconstructed in more durable materials and renamed Fort William. Since then it has served as a lighthouse.[1] Currently, the building houses Ghana Museums & Monuments Board staff. Fort William is well maintained and open to visitors.[2] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite book|last1=van Dantzig|first1=Albert|title=Forts and Castles of Ghana|date=1980|publisher=Sedco Publishing Limited|isbn=9964720106|page=74}} {{Gold Coast}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Fort William (Lighthouse)|url=http://www.ghanamuseums.org/forts/fort-william-lighthouse.php|website=Ghana Museums & Monuments Board|accessdate=18 March 2018}} 3 : History of Ghana|Castles in Ghana|Lighthouses in Ghana |
