Three officers of the French corsair Le Modeste were held as prisoners at the fort for five months, when French naturalist J.-J. La Billardière visited them in November 1796. The same text says the fort is located an hour from Batavia.[3]
A Dutch map from 1740 shows the fort at the intersection of the Mookervaart channel and Angke river.[4]
