Battery Edwards

N 39°36.265 W075°33.260

This battery served until 1920. It had two 3-inch guns on pedestal mounts.
Interestingly, this battery was constructed out of two magazines from the 1870's
directly underneath Battery Krayenbuhl. Holes were created in the sides of the
magazines to create the gun ports. In effect, this "casemated" the guns. One of
the casemates also became the radio room. This battery was named to honor Captain
Robert Edwards, killed in action in 1813 at the Battle of Frenchtown, Michigan.
