Fort Hose in Marudi

 This photograph shows Fort Hose in Marudi in the North-East corner of Sarawak. It was named after its 1891 resident Charles Hose and was something of a regional capital and administrative centre in its own right.

The availability of all the firearms shows that it also had a practical defensive value also.

Charles Hose was the official who recognised that large oil deposits might become important to the Sarawak economy and encouraged the otherwise reluctant Raja to open up this sector of the economy to outside experts.

Fort Sylvia of Kapit

Fort Sylvia was formerly known as Fort Kapit. It was built in 1980 by the Brooke administration from belian (ironwood) timbers to keep the peace and control on the upper Rejang. In 1925 the third Rajah renamed the Fort to Fort Sylvia in honour of his wife the Ranee Sylvia. After independence it served as the District Office and courthouse. In 1997 it was declared a historical building and is now a Museum and training Centre for artists, weavers and artisans in Kapit District by the Tan Jugah foundation.
