J. Malcolm:

Loc. 161 Fort Levett was an Endicott era fort built on Cushing Island in Portland ME. It was used through WWII.

== Endicott Era ==
In 1894 the government exercised its right to eminent domain and took control of the land from Francis Cushing to establish a new fort. The initial parcel of land was 33.75 acres which was deemed too small for military use. In 1903 the reservation was increased by 91.68 acres bringing the total to 127 acres. The fort was officially named on April 4th, 1900, after Christopher Levett who explored Casco Bay in the 1620s and was designated a sub post of [[Fort Williams]]. No construction on any part of the fort would begin until 1897. Four batteries were planned for the site in 1898. Railroad beds, drains, concrete mixing wells and other necessary infrastructure were prepared for construction and completed by 1899. The concrete work was started in 1900 on Battery Bowdoin and Kendrick. A narrow-gauge railway was completed in 1899 that connected each of the batteries. On November 29th, 1905, 15 main post buildings were accepted for service. The central powerhouse was completed either August 1903 or June 30th, 1905 (the engineer's notebook and QM book have different dates), for $52,600 along the parade ground with three Westinghouse 105 Horsepower steam engines that were purchased in 1903. This powerhouse would provide electricity for all of the tactical buildings at Fort Levett. Two 30-inch truck-mounted searchlights were transferred to Fort Levett on December 26th, 1905. Fort Levett was not garrisoned until 1907 when the 1st Company Coast Artillery Corps (CAC) came to Portland. On January 29th, 1909, a number of buildings were accepted for service including the switchboard building, dormitory, combined secondary station for [[Fort Williams]], Fire Command Positions and Base-End Stations for Batteries Chase, Bowdoin and Kendrick. Secondary Fire Control positions for Fort Levett were located in another stucco building at [[Fort Williams]]. On August 26th, 1909, another group of buildings were accepted for service including the district signal station, BC Stations for Batteries Bowdoin and Kendrick, the meteorological station and tide gauge station. In 1911 a brand-new searchlight powerhouse was built near whitehead to serve two 60-inch searchlights transferred April 28th, 1911. Another 60-inch searchlight was located on a concrete platform near Battery Daniels. <gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

== Battery Bowdoin ==
Construction on this three-gun 12-inch disappearing battery started in 1899. Originally planned for four guns, only three emplacements were built. Emplacements #4 and #3 were completed in 1901 and emplacement #2 was completed in 1902. In 1902 it was decided to eliminate the fourth emplacement. Each emplacement was armed with M1897 disappearing carriages and M1895 12-inch rifles which were all installed by 1903. The battery was transferred for use on April 23rd, 1903, at a cost of $190,290.56. This battery was named in 1900 after James Bowdoin who was the governor of Massachusetts in the late 1700s. Bowdoin college in Brunswick is also named for him. Three hodges back delivery hoists were installed originally but on April 15th, 1919, three new Taylor-Raymond back delivery hoists were installed in their place. In 1918 generators were installed to serve the battery and all of whitehead as auxiliary. In 1941 camouflage netting was installed over the battery and would remain in place until deactivation. On March 1st, 1944, Battery Bowdoin's guns were ordered salvaged but were not sent to Watervliet until January 15th, 1945. <gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

== Battery Kendrick ==
Construction on this two-gun 10-inch disappearing gun battery started in 1899 along with Battery Bowdoin. Originally planned to have four emplacements, two were not built in favor of using the space for Battery Ferguson. Construction was mostly completed by 1901, and the battery was armed in 1902 and transferred into service on April 23rd, 1903, with two M1895 10-inch rifles on M1896 disappearing carriages for $118,578.20. This battery was named in honor of Henry Lane Kendrick who was a science professor at West Point. Two Hodges back delivery hoists were provided for transporting shells from the magazines to the gun level. Type-C powder hoists were accepted for service October 14th, 1912. When Battery Ferguson was planned, it was to be adjacent to this battery which resulted in the widening of Battery Kendrick's loading platforms where emplacement #1 met Battery Ferguson. On August 24th, 1917, the two guns were dismounted to be sent abroad. Instead, they just sat at the wharf until the war ended when they were remounted. In 1918 generators were installed to serve Battery Ferguson and Daniels along with the Fire Command group as auxiliary. In 1919 the original Hodges shell hoists were replaced with Taylor Raymond Hoists. Battery Kendrick remained in service until 1932 when it was put in reduced maintenance status essentially eliminating it from the Harbor Defenses. On November 6th, 1942, Battery Kendrick was declared surplus and on December 15th its guns and carriages were ordered salvaged. <gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

== Battery Ferguson ==
Plans for this battery were created in 1901. Originally this battery was to hold four 6-inch guns mounted on pedestal mounts but during initial construction in 1902 this plan was altered to only have two guns per emplacement. The battery was named in 1903 after William Ferguson who served in the American Revolution. The battery was completed in 1904. In 1906 M1900 rifles on barbette mounts were installed on the battery, and it was transferred for use on June 22nd, 1906, for $58,500. Two hand cranked Hodges back delivery hoists were provided. In 1921 a new enclosed combined BC and Base-End station was built in the traverse of the battery above a new plotting room (also built 1921). In 1938 Battery Ferguson would be used to protect the minefield of Mines I whose secondary observation station would be built at Battery Daniels in 1942. In 1940 plans to upgrade the battery included extending the existing gun platforms, installing splinter-proof shields on the guns and adding camouflage netting. This would all be completed by 1943. A fire control position would be located at [[Trundy Point MR]] to improve the range. The tactical number for Battery Ferguson during WWII was Battery #3. A SCR 296 was also located at Whitehead for the battery. The guns were removed in 1947, and the battery was deactivated. <gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

== Battery Daniels ==
Construction on this three-gun 3-inch rapid fire battery started in 1899. It was designed to protect and sweep the minefield. The battery was completed in 1900 and armed in 1901 with M1898 masking parapet mounts and M1898 rifles. The battery was transferred April 23rd, 1903, for $14,994.18 after being named for Napoleon Daniels who served in the Civil War. In 1920 a program was started to remove all unnecessary small caliber guns. The guns of Battery Daniels were removed, and the mounts salvaged on March 27th, 1920. Interestingly, a CRF Station was built for the battery, and the plans were accepted July 9th months after the guns were removed. This station would be renovated in 1942 for the Mine OP. The battery is so overgrown that it is essentially buried making it nearly impossible to access the rooms and even emplacements so unfortunately, I was unable to get many photos. <gallery mode="packed" heights="100">

== World War One and Interwar ==
In 1914 the 50th Company CAC was moved from [[Fort McKinley]] to Levett. In 1917 the 9th, 22nd and 23rd companies of the Coast Defenses of Portland were assigned to Fort Levett. Maine National Guard CAC would be stationed at the fort in the 1920s. In 1915 a mortar battery was proposed to be built. It is not known whether its location was decided, but no construction ever began. Plans for a new post telephone switchboard were approved April 9th, 1918. This new design would provide all around protection for the building which before was located in a flimsy Sewell building at whitehead. This new switchboard building was accepted for service in 1921. In 1920 an Anti-Aircraft Battery of two 3-inch guns was built. In 1932 a third gun was added to the Anti-Aircraft Battery along with .50 Anti Air Machine Guns and a 60-inch AA Sperry Searchlight.<gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

== Battery Foote ==
Construction was authorized in 1917 for a new long range 12-inch gun battery. Initially, two batteries were planned for the site, but the second was eliminated before construction could begin. The estimated cost for the battery was $149,415 which included the carriages but $236,000 was allotted. It would cost another $10,000 to install the guns which were model M1895A4 on M1917A2 Long range barbette carriages. The weapons were installed and ready for action on December 17th, 1920. The arc of range was originally about 17 miles in all directions. This battery was completed January 26th, 1921, and named in honor of Stephen M Foote who was in the CAC. The two gun emplacements were 320 feet apart with a central magazine in the middle. A power room was built in the middle of the central magazine. Two fire control positions with open roofs could be accessed via two staircases along the central traverse. In 1922 property was acquired on [[Jewell Island MR]] and [[Trundy Point MR]] for fire control stations. A steel tower would be built at Trundy Point and a one room concrete building would be built on Jewell Island which would be replaced in the 1930s by a castle-like station. In the 1940 modernization plan, Battery Foote was selected to be casemented for protection against air and gas attack. This upgrade would be completed in July 1943 and additional fire control positions would be added for increased range. WWII Fire Control Stations for Battery Foote would be located at [[Fletchers Neck MR]], [[Prouts Neck MR|Prout's Neck MR]], [[Trundy Point MR]], [[Jewell Island MR]] and [[Bailey Island MR]]. A SCR 296 would be located at Dyer Point in [[Cape Elizabeth MR]] for the battery. The WWII tactical number for Battery Foote was Battery #4. Four mobile Anti-Aircraft Machine guns were located on and around the battery. <gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

== World War Two ==
On September 16th, 1940, Fort Levett was manned by the 1st Battalion 240th Coast Artillery under Colonel George Fogg Sr. Battery A would service Battery Foote, Battery B would service Battery Bowdoin and Battery C would service Battery Ferguson, Battery G would service the AA guns. The existing 28 post buildings were noted to be in poor condition by June 1940, and a building boom would start at the fort adding 26 temporary buildings and renovating the existing ones. In a June 1941 report all new post construction was complete, and the number of enlisted men was 758 (it had been 124 in 1939). $65,412 was spent on repairing the existing buildings. The new construction would include 10 barracks, four mess halls and various assorted support buildings. By the end of WWII, Fort Levett had 55 buildings. Upgrades would be made to Batteries Bowdoin and Ferguson to improve them for war. Test firings were completed in 1941. Additional construction would take place on Fire Control Structures and Battery Foote from 1942-44. The AA Battery would be designated AA Battery #3, and a mobile SCR-584 would be located at the fort for Anti-Aircraft tracking.<gallery mode="packed" heights="100">

=== WWII FIRE CONTROL STATIONS & RADARS ===

==== Site 1B Mine Observation Station ====
In 1942 the vacant Battery Daniels CRF station was selected to be converted into the Mines I secondary observation station. The CRF station which had been built in 1920, contained one level and a small manhole under the building. A second story was added, and the lower level was renovated. Two DPF pads would be installed along with new communications equipment. One oddity in this station is the use of a staple ladder to access the second floor rather than the traditional wood ladder used in all the other FC stations on the post.<gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

==== Site 1E Fire Control Tower ====
This 8-story tower was built in 1942 and served (all DPF) Battery Foote on the 8th floor, Battery 201 at [[Cape Elizabeth MR]] on the 7th floor and Battery Ferguson on the 6th floor. The trees that have grown around the tower have acted as a barrier against the weather which in turn has allowed many original windows to survive, some still even function! This tower was disguised with haze paint that would make it blend in with the horizon.<gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

==== Site 1G SCR 296-3 (Radar) ====
Built in 1943 atop a 100ft steel girder tower this radar served Battery Ferguson. A concrete block operation building, and generator buildings (25kw generators) were located at the base of the tower. In 1948 the radar and tower were removed for scrap. The concrete block operations building remains, although the roof is missing. Of the two generator buildings neither were found upon quick inspection.<gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

==== Site 1H Fire Control Tower ====
This 8-story tower was built in 1942 and served (all DPF) Battery 202 at [[Jewell Island MR]] on the 8th floor, Battery Carpenter at [[Fort McKinley]] on the 7th floor and Gun-Group Five (G-5) on the 6th floor which comprised of the AMTB batteries 961 at [[Fort Williams]], 962 at [[Fort Levett]], 963 at [[Peaks Island MR]], Battery Mason at [[Fort Preble]] and Battery Keyes at [[Fort Williams]]. A unique Anti-Aircraft crow's nest was built on the top floor of the tower hanging off the back instead of being concealed within the structure.<gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

==== Site 1J Gun-Group Command Post ====
This station was built in 1942 and was the gun-group one combined observation post and command post. Gun-Group 1 was comprised of the primary batteries at Fort Levett (Foote and Ferguson). This Groupement would switch around over the course of the war depending on what batteries were active at which forts. From January 1944 to 1945 G-1 consisted of Battery Foote and Steele.<gallery mode="packed" heights="75">

== Battery AMTB 962 ==
AMTB #2 was constructed in 1942 and built 40ft above sea level. It covered the interior of the main shipping channel. Ammunition and powder were stored in the defunct Battery Daniels and the wooden BC Station was built inside one of the emplacements where it remained until 1987 when it was blown over. Two fixed 90mm guns were mounted on concrete pads and two mobile 37mm guns were located on wooden platforms near the fixed emplacements. This battery was deactivated in 1946, but its guns may have been stored away earlier. The gun blocks are hard to access due to overgrowth and Battery Daniels where the BC station and ammo storage was, is effectively buried in overgrowth. [[File:Levett (200) 47.png|right|frameless]]

== Present ==
In 1948 all the remaining guns were scrapped, temporary WWII buildings salvaged, and the post was abandoned, along with the narrow-gauge railroad being dismantled. Some of the rails still remain although they are scattered around the side of the path. The remaining rail was found on the spur leading up to the top of Battery Foote. The rail in the dock was kept until the wood was replaced sometime after 1971. The site of the Wagon shed has been turned into a bocce court. The foundation of the coal shed remains right next to it.The army wanted $177,000 for the entire fort and it was purchased in 1957 and became a private housing complex. In 1970 the original barracks building was blown up, and the Sewell FC stations were razed at whitehead. In the 1960s Battery Bowdoin had drill holes made to test the concrete to see if the battery could be used for storing bank records. It never was and no modifications were made. A fire in the late 1970s destroyed most of the large officer's duplex but part of the first floor was salvaged and is now part of a cottage. The hospital was renovated for a residence and the NCO duplexes were converted to single family dwellings. Some of the storehouses and workshops have also been converted to residences but many buildings also remain as storage such as the power plant, stables, mule barn, fire station and pump house. The area with the batteries and FC stations has been designated a nature preserve operated by the islanders but in the past, there were proposals to make it a camp or a science center. Therefore, many of the buildings remain unchanged although heavily weathered with the exception of whitehead, where most of the Sewell structures have collapsed or been removed. Permission is needed to visit the island.

Fort Williams

2026-09-02T02:25:04Z

J. Malcolm: updated key issues

[[Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland]]
Loc. 160 Fort Williams was an Endicott Era fort in Cape Elizabeth ME. It was used through WWII.

'''This page is being re-written. Excuse our mess.'''

== 1870s Era ==
In 1872 land was acquired from property owners to create the Portland Head Military Reservation. This consisted of a 17-gun battery known as the Battery at Portland Head built from 1873 to 1876 when the project was abandoned.

== Endicott Era ==
Construction began on the first Endicott battery, Battery DeHart in 1893. In 1903 as the fort was growing, an additional 76 acres of land was acquired for the fort in 1903. No permanent post buildings were built until 1898 in the first building phase (1898-1904). From 1909 to 1911 more post buildings were added with the inclusion of a large 208 man double barracks building. By the end of the last building phase there were Three Barracks, Nine married officers quarters and Six non commissioned officers quarters. Other essential post buildings were also built like a Post Exchange (Named the Canteen), Headquarters Building and a Hospital among others. The Fort was formally named Fort Williams in 1899 and in 1899 the 1858 Goddard Mansion was bought for Fort Williams as an Officers Club and married enlisted men barracks. A Mine casemate built in 1891 and modified in 1903 was built in the cliff at ships cove. This Mining complex included a tramway and Two Mine Observation Stations. One was located next to Battery Blair and was built in 1903. Another was built as a secondary station on top of Battery Keyes. The large caliber gun batteries were manned with companies of 80-100 men. Completed batteries were test fired in 1898. The fort had many luxuries that could be found at forts such as a chapel, a movie theater, a baseball field and recreation center with a swimming pool. In 1907 a large power station and transformer building would be built behind the barracks and fire station. A collection of Fire Control Stations was also located behind Battery Garesche in the woods.
== Battery Blair ==
In 1901 construction began on Fort Williams largest battery. It would hold two 12-inch disappearing rifles.The battery was fully electrified and complete by 1903. The battery had electric shell hoists which were powered by a power station inside the battery and the central power station. The guns would be manually raised to the firing position and the shock of the blast would shoot it down to the loading position. The guns could fire a half-ton shell up to eight miles. This battery would be for the final blow on battleships and cruisers. The battery was used up until 1943 when the guns were dismounted and scrapped at an arsenal in 1944. A Battery Commanders and Plotting Station was built at the rear of the battery and connected with a concrete walkway. Today one gun emplacement is visible with emplacement #1 and the magazine level being buried.

== Battery Sullivan ==
Construction began in 1894 on this 10-inch disappearing rifle battery. The battery was completed in 1896 with three guns and activated in 1898. It was named in 1903. In 1907 three Taylor-Raymond Shell Hoists were added in 1907 and Powder Hoists were added in 1912. The battery was fully electrified and featured an electric motor that would take the gun down from firing position. In 1918, the guns were dismounted for use in WWI but replaced with new guns in 1919. The battery was deactivated in 1929. The guns were scrapped in 1942. 155mm guns on Panama mounts were located in front of the battery until 1943.

== Battery DeHart ==
This battery was the first to start construction at fort Williams in 1893. It was fitted with two 10-inch disappearing rifles. The battery was completed in 1897 and activated in 1898 then named in 1903. Similar to Battery Sullivan, it had two shell hoists added in 1907 and powder hoists in 1912. It also featured electric motors to bring the gun from firing position to loading position. This battery was fully electric and got its power from the 1907 Central power station. The guns were to be dismounted and shipped off in 1918 but they were never removed as they were ordered back before their removal. In 1934 the battery was placed on reduced status and in 1942 the guns were scrapped and the battery was deactivated.

== Battery Garesche ==
Construction began in 1904 and was the last battery to be completed at Fort Williams in 1906. It was named before construction even started in 1903. This battery had two 6-inch disappearing rifles. No shell or powder hoists were required because the battery was one story. Electrical power was furnished from the power station inside Battery Blair that powered many of the gun batteries at the fort. In 1917 the guns were removed for use in WWI. One gun actually made it to France to be used as field artillery. The guns were never returned, and the carriages were scrapped in 1920, and the battery was deactivated in 1929.

== Battery Hobart ==
This battery was started in 1898 and completed in 1900. It had one 6-inch armstrong gun and was built atop the remains of the 1870s battery. It was named in 1903 and powered by the 1907 central power plant. The gun was dismounted and sent to Hawaii in 1913. The battery was officially deactivated in 1929 many years after it was scrapped.

== Battery Keyes ==
This 3-inch battery was built in 1903 and completed in 1905. It was built to protect the minefield with its two rapid fire pedestal mounted guns. The battery was named in 1904 and was fully electric. Power was supplied by the 1907 central power station. On top of the battery is the secondary minefield observation station which was used in conjunction with the Mine casemate nearby to locate mine to be detonated. It is the only example of plaster and stucco construction in good condition. n 1920 a CRF Station was added next to the battery. t was the only battery at Fort Williams to remain active through WWII. During WWII it was used in conjunction with the HECP to fire upon unfriendly ships that may not be welcome into the harbor. The guns were removed after the war ended in 1945.

== World War One and Interwar ==
The guns of the 10-inch and 6-inch batteries were to be sent to France during WWI. Of all the guns to be sent only on actually made it to France and it was from Battery Garesche. In the 1920s concrete observation station were added at Kitty Point near officers row. A disappearing searchlight was added behind Battery Garesche. In 1920 a protected switchboard bunker was built next to the 1907 central power station.
== World War Two ==
The remaining large caliber batteries were all deactivated by 1944 and Battery Blair was the last to be test fired right after Pearl Harbor in 1941. The shock of the fired 14 shells blew out garage doors at the lighthouse and around the neighborhoods nearby. The only gun battery added to Fort Williams was Battery AMTB 961. During WWII Fort Williams was the control hub of Portland Harbor. It housed the HECP and HDCP on top of Kitty Point inside one of the 1920 observation stations. The mine casemate at Fort Williams was used during WWII but after the mine tramway was destroyed by a storm in 1938 the planting was moved to Fort Preble. The mine casemate served mines 1-8 in Portland Harbor while the larger mine casemate at [[Peaks Island MR]] served mine groups 9-24. Mine explosive and shell storage was at [[Fort McKinley]] inside a warehouse and abandoned batteries. The fort was designated Location 160 at the beginning of WWII and was manned by the 240th Coast Artillery from 1939-1945.

== Battery AMTB 961 ==
Construction began in 1943 on this 90mm fixed gun battery. There were two fixed guns and two mobile guns. Two magazines were built along with two generator buildings. A Battery Commanders Station was built in between the magazines. The guns had a range of 4.5 miles and were for sinking high speed boats. 30 men were needed for the operation of the two fixed guns. The area where the magazines were located is still visible on some Ariel images.

=== HECP and HDCP ===
In 1941 it was decided that the old "H" station built in the 1920s would become the new HECP. The facility was described to be very small so in 1942 Battery Sullivan was gas-proofed and had its magazines air-conditioned. The battery would become the Harbor Defense Command Post and the Anti Aircraft Intelligence Service Command Post. It was proposed that they build a completely new structure but no action was ever taken.

== Present ==
In 1946 the last battery was deactivated at the fort which was Battery AMTB 961. From 1950-51 a temporary radar was here. The fort spent the rest of its life as a logistics and administrative center for all of Maine. In the 1950s part of one of Battery Keyes emplacements was demolished by the national guard. The fort was formally deactivated June 30th, 1962 and in 1964 it was bought by the town of Cape Elizabeth for 200,000. It sat dormant for almost a decade after no plan was accepted for the fort. In 1973 demolition started on the structures at the fort. In 1973 the main Mine Observation station was razed and most other buildings were razed from 1974-76. The interior of the Goddard Mansion was partially burned by arsonists in 1975 and the chapel was completely destroyed also in 1975. Brick buildings were destroyed by the Cape Elizabeth Fire Department and the US Army Corps of Engineers. A massive sewer project in 1975 generated enough fill to bury all the large caliber batteries at the fort to make them safer. This fill was also used to bury two of the observation stations at Kitty Point. The other had its roof caved in and filled with roof debris. Only two batteries remain fully exposed (Battery Hobart had its magazines buried but the emplacement is still visible). Before 1975 there were plans to turn the fort into a college campus but no advances were made. The fort was dedicated as Fort Williams Park in 1979. In 1981 the Goddard mansion was gutted by controlled fire and the basement was filled. Up until 1990 the Mine casemate was used a civil defense shelter. Today some of the post buildings remain such as the fire station, a storehouse, a garage for officers cars, magazine, field officers quarters and bachelors officer quarters. Today the fort is a public park with no admission fee. The Portland Head Lighthouse houses a museum n the keepers quarters. Battery Blair has been turned into a memorial and plans from 2009 to excavate it have not seen fruition. In 2022 the Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society moved into the bachelors officers quarters.

Cape Elizabeth MR

Loc. 158 Cape Elizabeth was a WWII gun battery, fire control and radar site in Cape Elizabeth ME.
[[Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland]]
[[File:Cape Elizabeth MR Plan.jpg|thumb|311x311px|Layout 1945.]]
The Cape Elizabeth Military Reservation was established in 1942 for the [[:Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland|Harbor Defenses of Portland]]. Batteries 101 and 201 were to be built along with Fire Control and Radar Stations. The reservation was split into three parcels. Site 1A was 32.62 acres acquired in 1943 for Battery 201. Site 1B was directly behind site 1A and was 7.3 acres acquired in 1943 for a combined Fire Control Tower and Battery Commanders Station. Site 2A was .30 acres acquired in 1942 for a combined Fire Control and Radar Tower on the former lighthouse reservation. Site 3A was also acquired in 1942 for a radar tower at Dyer Point. This was a sub post of [[Fort Williams]] nearby. Men stationed here were mostly billeted from [[Fort Williams]] but the post could support a garrison of 102 men. The Army used two existing residences as barracks and officers' quarters. A 100-foot-long barracks was built adjacent to the Battery Commanders station at Site 1B, and two other buildings were constructed next to Battery 201.

== Fire Control and Radar Towers ==
Two Fire Control Towers and two radar stations were built on the reservation. A fire control switchboard was located in Battery 201. Plans from 1941 indicate a Fire Control tower with two observing floors (serving Battery Steele and Battery 101) was to be located at 20 beacon lane but no such tower was ever built.

=== Site 1B The Silo ===
[[File:Cape Elizabeth MR 16.jpg|left|thumb|195x195px|The Silo in 2023]]
This Fire Control Tower was built in 1942 as a Battery Commanders Station for Battery 201. It also housed a Base-End Station for Battery 201 (It would have housed the Gun-Group post, but it was never established after Battery 101's termination in 1942. The tower was built next to a farmhouse and disguised as a silo. Plans from 1941 show was to have been a three-story cottage style Fire Control station. The adjacent farmhouse was occupied by its owner, and the barn was used as a recreation building. In 1945 the barn burned and the house was subsequently destroyed. This tower was nearly identical to the one at [[Emerson Point MR]]. Today the tower is sealed and is slowly deteriorating. Barracks were once located next to the tower.

=== Site 2A The Lighthouse ===
The West Lighthouse (1874) at Cape Elizabeth has been used for Fire Control since 1925 for Battery Kearny-Chase at [[Fort Preble]]. In 1935-6 plans were made for an octagonal wooden station to replace the earlier one. This design was later revised to be a square wooden two-level station with an AAIS OP on the roof. The current combined fire control and radar tower was built in 1942 of reinforced concrete on the site of the earlier station. This station was not disguised as a lighthouse but rather a water tower. A faux wooden tank held a SCR-296 radar for Battery 201. This station was for Battery 202 at [[Jewell Island MR]] and Battery 203 at [[Peaks Island MR]]. During the war the tower was painted reddish brown. The radar was removed around 1946. The tower was sold and the DPF pads were drilled out at one point, eventually the faux water tank disappeared as well. Gary Merrill who was the ex-husband of Bette Davis owned the tower from 1971-83. In 1985 the tower was purchased by Ken Lane who restored the exterior of the tower and has lived in the adjacent house since. <center><gallery mode="nolines" heights="90">

=== Site 3A The Radar Tower ===

[[File:SCR296.jpg|thumb|261x261px|1946 image.]]

In 1942 a steel radar tower with a faux wooden tank was built at Dyer Point next to the Lobster Shack. A corrugated steel operations building, and two generator buildings accompanied this tower. This radar was to serve Battery Foote at [[Fort Levett]]. It could detect enemy ships and the crew in the operations building would report the ships' location to Battery Foote's plotting room. This tower was scrapped in 1948. The operations building and generator buildings survived into the 1950s.<center></center>

== Battery 101 ==
[[File:Battery 101 FC Stations 1941.jpg|left|thumb|166x166px|FC Stations to serve Battery 101]]
Battery 101 was going to be a twin 16-inch Long Range Barbette Battery but was terminated. This battery would have been identical to Battery Steele at [[Peaks Island MR]]. Battery 101 would have been located on top of Mares Hollow Lane north of Battery 201.

== Battery 201 ==

Construction began on Battery 201 in 1943, and it was completed in 1944 unarmed. This battery was to have two 6-inch shielded guns on barbette carriages. This battery was designated Battery #1 on defense charts and was proposed to be named Battery Fesseden. Fire Control Stations for this battery were located at [[Fletchers Neck MR]], [[Prouts Neck MR]], [[Cape Elizabeth MR]], [[Fort Levett]] and [[Jewell Island MR]]. The battery would have had a range of 15 miles and 5 rounds of shells weighing 105 pounds could be shot per minute. In 1946 the battery was abandoned by the coast artillery. <center><gallery mode="packed-overlay">

== Present ==
In 1955 sites 1A and 1B were purchased by the state to create [https://apps.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/doc/parksearch/details.pl?park_id=28 Two Lights State Park] which opened in 1961. In 1996 an interpretation project was set up inside the battery which involved putting new electric lights and exit signs in. Interpretive plaques still remain marking each of the rooms with their purpose. As of 2026 the battery is open for monthly public tours. Future plans include opening the Battery Commanders tower as well. Today all of the reservation except for the West Light is accessible to the public. A fee is charged at the park.

This list is of all the WWII (or used during WWII) Fire Control Stations (FCS) in New England. Included here are Base-End Stations, Spotting Stations, and Group Observation Stations (Mines, Gun Groups, Groupements). I have decided not to include Battery Commanders Stations or Command Posts unless it is a combined station. This table can be searched by using Control+F (PC) or Command+F (Mac) Please [[Contact Us|contact me]] with any questions or corrections.

Sachuest Point MR

2026-07-31T03:23:02Z

J. Malcolm: /* Site 1B The Barn */

Loc. 46 Sachuest was a WWII Fire Control and Radar Site at Sachuest Point in Middletown RI.

=== Site 1A The Farmhouse ===
[[File:1976 Sachuest Farmhouse Station.jpg|left|thumb|140x140px|Site 1A in 1976]]
[[File:Sachuest Point 1A RCW 1944 1-2.png|thumb|162x162px|Site 1A 1943 RCW]]
Completed in 1943 for $7,825, this FC Station was built to look like a cottage. The two concrete observing rooms were in a three-story tower attached to the wooden cottage which served as barracks for the 6 personnel serving the station. The structure received commercial power from Newport Electric Co. and could get auxiliary power from the nearby SCR 296A generator shelter. The top floor was a spare at the time of completion but was most likely going to serve Battery 111 which was supposed to be built at [[Fort Burnside]]. The lower level (Azimuth) served [[Fort Burnside|Battery 213]]. The wooden cottage was removed in 1978 and around 1982 the concrete tower was removed.

=== Site 1B The Barn ===
[[File:Sachuest Point 1B RCW 1942 1-2.png|thumb|165x165px|Site 1B 1942 RCW]]
Completed in 1942 for $11,956, this FC Station was disguised as a barn. The interior of the structure was not built out as barracks like Site 1A. A three-story tower with two observing levels was built within the structure. On the roof was a hatch presumably for an AAIS OP but the plans do not indicate if that was its use. 12 men manned this station, and they were quartered in Site 1A. Electric power was provided by the Newport Electric Co. or the SCR 296A auxiliary generators. The upper level (AI) served [[Fort Church|Battery Gray]] and the lower level (AI) served [[Fort Nathanael Greene|Battery Hamilton]]. The wooden barn was removed from around the tower around 1970 and in 1981 the tower was destroyed.

=== Site 1C The Silo ===
[[File:Sachuest Point 1C RCW 1942.png|thumb|167x167px|Site 1C 1942 RCW]]
[[File:Preparing for Demolition.jpg|left|thumb|185x185px|Site 1C 1982 Preparing for Demolition]]
Completed in 1942 for $6,489, this four-story tower with three observing levels was designed to look like a silo. Interior ladders provided access to each floor but on the back of the station was also a rebar staple ladder that went to the roof. This ladder is not shown on any plans but is clearly visible in photos of the tower. The 18 men who manned this station would have quartered in the cottage at Site 1A. Power was provided by the Newport Electric Co. but auxiliary power could be provided by the SCR 296A generators. The upper floor (AI) served [[Fort Nathanael Greene|Battery 109]], the middle level (AI) served [[Fort Church|Battery Reilly]], and the lower level (AI) served [[Fort Church|Battery 212]]. The tower was demolished for safety reasons around 1982.

=== Site 1D The SCR 296A ===
[[File:Sachuest Point SCR 296A RCW 1943.png|thumb|167x167px|Site 1D SCR 296A RCW 1943]]
Completed in 1943 for $12,300, this SCR 296A Radar was mounted atop a 100ft steel girder tower. It served [[Fort Church|Battery Reilly]] and was painted to look like a water tower. The rotor was located inside a faux wooden "tank". A corrugated steel transmitter building and two generator shelters were built near the base of the tower. The radar was powered commercially by the Newport Electric Co. but two Signal Corps 25kw 120v AC generators were located near the base of the tower for auxiliary supply to the radar and FC stations. In 1946 the radar was declared obsolete and in 1948 the tower was dismantled. The steel buildings were left in place as of 1951 but were gone by 1962.

=== Present ===
[[File:Farmhouse Demolition.jpg|left|thumb|186x186px|Site 1A Demolition 1980s]]
[[File:Sauchest Point Silo.jpg|left|thumb|184x184px|Site 1C shortly before demolition 1980s.]]
In 1970 the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge was established. It took up most of Sachuest Point including the Army parcel. All remains of the FC Stations demolished by 1985. The site is open to the public and the foundations of the SCR 296A Radar buildings are the only visible remains left.

Cape Porpoise MR

2026-06-20T16:29:13Z

J. Malcolm: moved image

[[Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland]]
Location 155 Cape Porpoise was a Fire Control Site in Kennebunk ME on Stone Haven Hill.
[[File:1942CapePorpoise.jpg|left|thumb|212x212px|Shortly after completion.]]
In April 1942 construction began on an eight-story tower. Originally this station was going to serve Battery 101 at [[Cape Elizabeth MR|Cape Elizabeth]] and Battery 102 at [[Peaks Island MR|Peaks Island]]. Since Battery 101 was never built, this tower only served Battery 102. A fire control switchboard was located on the first floor and on the roof was AAIS OP 1. This tower was disguised as a windmill and was painted as shown in some photos. On October 8th, 1949, the Army Corps of Engineers was called out to blow up the tower. It took seven charges to knock the tower over. Afterwards the rubble was hauled to a local fishing dock where it was used as fill in the road.<center><gallery mode="nolines">

HD Portland Annex 1945

Cape Elizabeth MR

2026-06-20T16:27:44Z

J. Malcolm: Quick overhaul on page.

Loc. 158 Cape Elizabeth was a WWII gun battery, fire control and radar site in Cape Elizabeth ME.
[[Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland]]
[[File:Cape Elizabeth MR Plan.jpg|thumb|311x311px|Layout 1945.]]
The Cape Elizabeth Military Reservation was established in 1942 for the [[:Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland|Harbor Defenses of Portland]]. Batteries 101 and 201 were to be built along with Fire Control and Radar Stations. The reservation was split into three parcels. Site 1A was 32.62 acres acquired in 1943 for Battery 201. Site 1B was directly behind site 1A and was 7.3 acres acquired in 1943 for a combined Fire Control Tower and Battery Commanders Station. Site 2A was .30 acres acquired in 1942 for a combined Fire Control and Radar Tower on the former lighthouse reservation. Site 3A was also acquired in 1942 for a radar tower at Dyer Point. This was a sub post of [[Fort Williams]] nearby. Men stationed here were mostly billeted from [[Fort Williams]] but the post could support a garrison of 102 men. The Army used two existing residences as barracks and officers' quarters. A 100-foot-long barracks was built adjacent to the Battery Commanders station at Site 1B, and two other buildings were constructed next to Battery 201.

== Fire Control and Radar Towers ==
Two Fire Control Towers and two radar stations were built on the reservation. A fire control switchboard was located in Battery 201. Plans from 1941 indicate a Fire Control tower with two observing floors (serving Battery Steele and Battery 101) was to be located at 20 beacon lane but no such tower was ever built.

=== Site 1B The Silo ===
[[File:Cape Elizabeth MR 16.jpg|left|thumb|195x195px|The Silo in 2023]]
This Fire Control Tower was built in 1942 as a Battery Commanders Station for Battery 201. It also housed a Base-End Station for Battery 201 (It would have housed the Gun-Group post, but it was never established after Battery 101's termination in 1942. The tower was built next to a farmhouse and disguised as a silo. Plans from 1941 show was to have been a three-story cottage style Fire Control station. The adjacent farmhouse was occupied by its owner, and the barn was used as a recreation building. In 1945 the barn burned and the house was subsequently destroyed. This tower was nearly identical to the one at [[Emerson Point MR]]. Today the tower is sealed and is slowly deteriorating. Barracks were once located next to the tower.

=== Site 2A The Lighthouse ===
The West Lighthouse (1874) at Cape Elizabeth has been used for Fire Control since 1925 for Battery Kearny-Chase at [[Fort Preble]]. In 1935-6 plans were made for an octagonal wooden station to replace the earlier one. This design was later revised to be a square wooden two-level station with an AAIS OP on the roof. The current combined fire control and radar tower was built in 1942 of reinforced concrete on the site of the earlier station. This station was not disguised as a lighthouse but rather a water tower. A faux wooden tank held a SCR-296 radar for Battery 201. This station was for Battery 202 at [[Jewell Island MR]] and Battery 203 at [[Peaks Island MR]]. During the war the tower was painted reddish brown. The radar was removed around 1946. The tower was sold and the DPF pads were drilled out at one point, eventually the faux water tank disappeared as well. Gary Merrill who was the ex-husband of Bette Davis owned the tower from 1971-83. In 1985 the tower was purchased by Ken Lane who restored the exterior of the tower and has lived in the adjacent house since. <center><gallery mode="nolines" heights="90">

=== Site 3A The Radar Tower ===
[[File:L158 3A SCR 296 footings 8-19-24.jpg|left|thumb|SCR 296 Footers 2024.]]
[[File:SCR296.jpg|thumb|261x261px|1946 image.]]

In 1942 a steel radar tower with a faux wooden tank was built at Dyer Point next to the Lobster Shack. A corrugated steel operations building, and two generator buildings accompanied this tower. This radar was to serve Battery Foote at [[Fort Levett]]. It could detect enemy ships and the crew in the operations building would report the ships' location to Battery Foote's plotting room. This tower was scrapped in 1948. The operations building and generator buildings survived into the 1950s.<center></center>

== Battery 101 ==
[[File:Battery 101 FC Stations 1941.jpg|left|thumb|166x166px|FC Stations to serve Battery 101]]
Battery 101 was going to be a twin 16-inch Long Range Barbette Battery but was terminated. This battery would have been identical to Battery Steele at [[Peaks Island MR]]. Battery 101 would have been located on top of Mares Hollow Lane north of Battery 201.

== Battery 201 ==

Construction began on Battery 201 in 1943, and it was completed in 1944 unarmed. This battery was to have two 6-inch shielded guns on barbette carriages. This battery was designated Battery #1 on defense charts and was proposed to be named Battery Fesseden. Fire Control Stations for this battery were located at [[Fletchers Neck MR]], [[Prouts Neck MR]], [[Cape Elizabeth MR]], [[Fort Levett]] and [[Jewell Island MR]]. The battery would have had a range of 15 miles and 5 rounds of shells weighing 105 pounds could be shot per minute. In 1946 the battery was abandoned by the coast artillery. <center><gallery mode="packed-overlay">

== Present ==
In 1955 sites 1A and 1B were purchased by the state to create [https://apps.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/doc/parksearch/details.pl?park_id=28 Two Lights State Park] which opened in 1961. In 1995 an interpretation project was set up inside the battery which involved putting new electric lights and exit signs in. Interpretive plaques still remain marking each of the rooms with their purpose. As of 2026 the battery is open for monthly public tours. Future plans include opening the Battery Commanders tower was well. Today all of the reservation except for the West Light is accessible to the public. A fee is charged at the park.

J. Malcolm:

Loc. 158 Cape Elizabeth was a WWII gun battery, fire control and radar site in Cape Elizabeth ME.
[[Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland]]
[[File:Cape Elizabeth MR Plan.jpg|thumb|311x311px|Reservation Plan]]
The Cape Elizabeth Military Reservation was established in 1942 for the [[:Category:Harbor Defenses of Portland|Harbor Defenses of Portland]]. Batteries 101 and 201 were to be built along with Fire Control and Radar Stations. The reservation was split into three parcels. Site 1A was 32.62 acres acquired in 1943 for Battery 201. Site 1B was directly behind site 1A and was 7.3 acres acquired in 1943 for a combined Fire Control Tower and Battery Commanders Station. Site 2A was .30 acres acquired in 1942 for a combined Fire Control and Radar Tower on the former lighthouse reservation. Site 3A was also acquired in 1942 for a radar tower at Dyer Point. This was a sub post of [[Fort Williams]] nearby. Men stationed here were mostly billeted from [[Fort Williams]] but the post could support a garrison of 102 men. The Army used existing residences as barracks and officers quarters. A 100 foot long barracks was built adjacent to the Battery Commanders station at Site 1B.

== Fire Control and Radar Towers ==
Two Fire Control Towers and two radar stations were built on the reservation. A fire control switchboard was located in Battery 201. Plans from 1941 indicate a Fire Control tower with two observing floors (serving Battery Steele and Battery 101) was to be located at 20 beacon lane but no such tower was ever built.

=== Site 1B The Silo ===
[[File:Cape Elizabeth MR 16.jpg|left|thumb|195x195px|The Silo in 2023]]
This Fire Control Tower was built in 1943 as a Battery Commanders Station for Battery 201. It also housed a Base-End Station for Battery 201 (It would have housed the Gun-Group post, but it was never established after Battery 101's termination. The tower was built next to a farmhouse and disguised as a silo. Plans from 1941 show was to have been a three-story cottage style Fire Control station. The farmhouse used as a recreation building, burned shortly after the tower's completion. This tower was nearly identical to the one at [[Emerson Point MR]]. Today the tower is sealed and is slowly deteriorating. Barracks were once located next to the tower.

=== Site 2A The Lighthouse ===
The West Lighthouse (1874) at Cape Elizabeth has been used for Fire Control since 1925 for Battery Kearny-Chase at [[Fort Preble]]. In 1935-6 plans were made for an octagonal wooden station to replace the earlier one. This design was later revised to be a square wooden two-level station with an AAIS OP on the roof. The current combined fire control and radar tower was built in 1942 of reinforced concrete on the site of the earlier station. This station was not disguised as a lighthouse but rather a water tower. A faux wooden tank held the SCR-296 radar. This station was for Battery 202 at [[Jewell Island MR]] and Battery 203 at [[Peaks Island MR]]. During the war the tower was painted brown. The faux water tank was removed around 1946 along with the radar. The tower was sold and the DPF pads were drilled out at one point. Gary Merrill who was the ex-husband of Bette Davis owned the tower from 1971-83. In 1985 the tower was purchased by Ken Lane who restored the exterior of the tower and has lived in the adjacent house since. <center><gallery mode="nolines" heights="90">

=== Site 3A The Radar Tower ===
In 1942 a steel radar tower with a faux wooden tank was built at Dyer Point next to the Lobster Shack. A corrugated steel operations building, and two generator buildings accompanied this tower. This radar was to serve Battery Foote at [[Fort Levett]]. It could detect enemy ships and the crew in the operations building would report the ships' location to Battery Foote's plotting room. This tower was scrapped in 1948. The operations building and generator buildings survived into the 1950s.<center><gallery mode="nolines" heights="100">

== Battery 101 ==
[[File:Battery 101 FC Stations 1941.jpg|left|thumb|166x166px|FC Stations to serve Battery 101]]
Battery 101 was going to be a twin 16-inch Long Range Barbette Battery but was terminated. This battery would have been identical to Battery Steele at [[Peaks Island MR]]. Battery 101 would have been located on top of Mares Hollow Lane north of Battery 201.

== Battery 201 ==

Construction began on Battery 201 in 1942, and it was completed in 1944 unarmed. This battery had two 6-inch shielded guns on barbette carriages. This battery was designated Battery #1 on defense charts and was proposed to be named Battery Fesseden. Fire Control Stations for this battery were located at [[Fletchers Neck MR]], [[Prouts Neck MR]], [[Cape Elizabeth MR]], [[Fort Levett]] and [[Jewell Island MR]]. The battery would have had a range of 15 miles and 5 rounds of shells weighing 105 pounds could be shot per minute. In 1946 the battery was abandoned by the coast artillery.<center><gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="75">

In 1995 an interpretation project was set up inside the battery which involved putting new electric lights and exit signs in. Interpretive plaques still remain marking each of the rooms with their purpose. As of 2026 there are plans to eventually open up Battery 201 and the Fire Control tower. Today all of the reservation except for the West Light is accessible to the public. Tours of Battery 201 are available at the request of the Park Manager.
