Summary
| Description |
English: Photo, taken about noon on February 26, 2011, looks easterly at the platform for Gun 2 of Battery Dickenson at Ft. Wetherill. This battery mounted two 6-inch guns. Shells were delivered up from the magazines below by means of an ammunition hoist. The delivery table for this hoist was on the concrete "alter" visible at lower right, which still has the four rusted "fingers" of the delivery mechanism set into its top. The shaft of the shell hoist is here closed off by a steel plate, located beneath the turqoise "tagging." Almost every visible concrete surface at Fort Wetherill has been defaced by such "tagging."
The area in front of the shell hoist is covered with a sheet of ice. The railings in the image are an addition from the 1970s or 1980s, meant to keep visitors to the battery from falling. |
