Description: Photo looks westerly across the gun platforms of Battery Varnum. Gun 2 is in the foreground. The overhanging concrete "canopy" at center protected the ammunition hoist that delivered shells from the magazines below, which were supplied via the lower level roadway (now overgrown) at right. The fencing that now surrounds the battery and makes it inaccessible was added when the area became a state park. On February 26, 2011, when this photo was taken, the gate in the fence was open, and access could have been had to the gun platforms by climbing down the ladder in the foreground.
