remains of Militia store house

View looking down from Artillery hill, east of Bldg 409 looking down on the parade ground/Fort Administration bldgs and living quarters

Another view looking towards the Sound. The batteries begin just off the left of the picture behind the treeline.

Looking down into one of the mortar battery pits from the front (Sound side). The large open doors give access to the mag spaces that go from one side of the battery, around the front and to the other side, (seperated internally into 3 long rectangular compartments)

Between the mortar batteries and the main gun line facing the north coastline lies the remains of the harbor defense command post. It was used up till the 1950's before the fort was decommissioned.

Sealed entrance to the harbor command post

Some kind of winch engine placed on top of the command post

Sealed from the ground, but not so sealed from the top.

Harbor command post, top floor, observation station. View looking toward left wall and foward wall with old style heater pipes still in place.

goody...another dark stairway into the pits of Hell. Might be trolls......[:D]

down in the guts of the old command post. This is the central corridor that connects the post from right side to left side.

remains of the sonar room.

light fixture remains. probably installed during the 50's....since all the others i saw were of the old fashioned single light bulb type fixtures.

rear compartments with remains of false walls.

some kind of generator/air-heat circulation room

Back to the surface....another look at the old engine.

More pics tomorrow. nap time.

Thanks for the pics...I can really smell the urine and feel the damp.[:)]

Very cool... Those mortars, how big were they?

Thanks for the pics! Makes me want to go bunker hunting!

Isn't it odd how graffiti is very similar the world over?!

Those mortars, how big were they?

If you refer to the coast defense mortars, the US used 12 inch.
