An old engraving showing A view of the north side of Tangier, Morocco on the road from the English settlement of Whitby, & garrison, lived in by British workers building a defensive mole. In the distance are Yorke castle & Peterborow tower (named after York & Peterborough in the UK). The mole cost £340,000 and reached 1,436 ft (438 m) long before its destruction. Funding proved a problem and soldiers in the garrison had to wait over two years to be paid, leading to a mutiny which was quickly brought to an end by Governor Fairborne who personally shot one of the mutineers dead on the spot.
