    I grew up there. there is an additional bunker near Henry Hudson High School. Battery Kingman and Battery Hill were constructed in 1941 not 1917. The bunkers further out on Sandy Hook were constructed during the first world war and earlier. I also explored the Nike missile sites before they were filled in by the Parks and Recreation. This was in 1974.

    I think for most governments these old fortifications are just to difficult to demolish, they where designed to resist it after all. I have visited a far few of these across the UK and some in Europe, incredible when they are in this state and fully intact enough to easily explore. Nice to see the ones in the US, the rooms with the concrete pedestals after the stoopy sections look like powder handling rooms where they open the big propellant cans and take out the bags to place on a scuttle of some kind to take to the guns.
    The large rails used to handle the heavy shells are absent, the propellant bags do have some weight to them but a lot less plus they are in sections so you don't need the rails to move them. Propellant are lot more volatile too, they need very careful handling so you usually see small hatches with an opening and closing mechanism to pass them through hence the double stoopy hatch.
    Great explore!

    • @Tuberuser187
      @Tuberuser187 Před rokem

      @@nickcancelliere5638 Number of reasons, mostly related to location. In a city or town the land can be valuable, they might also attract antisocial behavior.
      In parts of Europe some of the WW2 ones people just wanted them removed for emotional or practical reasons, the Berlin Flak Towers are an example of that. No-one wanted them around as reminders, they tried to demolish them but it was quickly found to be impossible so they used rubble from the City to Bury one.

    I was stationed at Ft. Monmouth in the late 80s. A friend of mine had an MOS of "Nuclear Safety Officer". One thing he did was go out to Sandy Hook every so often to check for radiation. The reason is because during and right after WW2 they did atomic research in there... be careful where you go. It may be safe by now... maybe.

      In the 1970's, Fort Casey had a few more structures not present today. One was a square concrete communications bunker (allegedly). One way in/out, no windows. Inside was one pitch black narrow walkway surrounding a single, large center room. Go left, 4 right turns back to exit. Go right, 4 lefts. No flashlight? One would use their hands to find the path...or an oncoming person! Good times. Good times indeed!

    Very cool to see this place Im in Michigan and never heard of this place even existing. Too bad the bunker with all the rooms is destroyed so bad it would be interesting to see what all them rooms were for...there looked to be a lot of them. We have nothing like this in Mich, that Ive ever heard of. Nice find!!!

    That concrete area kinda reminds me of An Officer and a Gentlemen.
