Kingston, Canada
Murney Tower
Murney Tower is a Martello tower in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, whose construction dates to January 1846. The tower was built in response to the Oregon Crisis, which was a tense dispute over the border between British North America and the United States in the 1840s. The tower is one of five components of Kingston's fortifications that defended Kingston Harbour, the Naval Dockyard, military supply depot and the southern entrance of the Rideau Canal.
