	When Battery Foote at [[Fort Levett]] was built, it had the longest-range guns in Portland at the time. Due to the distance that the batteries projectiles could travel it was necessary to construct a few [[Fire Control Tower List\|Fire Control Towers]] to help triangulate the location of enemy vessels. In 1922 a steel tower was built with one observation level for Battery Foote. It was ~~used throughout~~ WWII until ~~Battery Foote was deactivated~~.		When Battery Foote at [[Fort Levett]] was built, it had the longest-range guns in Portland at the time.

In 1922 a steel tower was built with one observation level for Battery Foote. The cab was splinter proofed sometime during WWII and saw use until 1945.
	=== ~~1943 Tower~~ ===		=== Site 1B ===
	In 1943 construction began on an eight-story tower near the original 1922 tower. It would have two observation levels. The eighth floor (DPF) was used for Battery Cravens at [[Peaks Island MR]] and the seventh floor (DPF) was used for Battery Ferguson at [[Fort Levett]] ~~to the best of my knowledge. This tower unlike many in the area did not have an Anti-Aircraft Observation Post~~. A communications cable junction box is located under the tower.~~<gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="75">~~		[[File:Trundy Point MR 36.jpg\|left\|frameless\|1943 Tower]]
