Description

Been wondering where all these great rust, texture and aged concrete stock images have been coming from? Well here's the history (if you're interested) of this wonderful historic place along the beautiful coast of the Olympic Peninsula, outside Fort Townsend, Washington. There are hundreds of rooms at different battery locations in this state park with an unlimited variety of stock image paradise to be seen and captured here. So if you live in the area, or plan on visiting someday, please go and learn some history and take pictures until your heat's content.

[link] Battery Kinzie was the last fortification built in Puget Sound defenses before World War II. It was also the most powerful, mounting two 12-inch cannons on modern versions of the disappearing carriage. Construction began in 1908, some 10 years after the building of heavy gun batteries on the high ground above the Point Wilson sand spit.Battery Kinzie was intended to solve several weaknesses in the original fortification plan. It added two 12-inch guns to the modest number of four already in the defenses. It was located where it could protect the entire entrance of Admiralty Inlet from shore to shore. Its beachside position allowed it to cover the waterway below the fog that often lay just above the surface of the water.
