| Description |
Yesterday I spent the afternoon visiting Peaks Island in Portland, Maine. This island is one of several that are connected to mainland Portland by ferry boats. A World War II era fortification, Battery Steele, is now publicly owned and within its many dark tunnels and rooms are dozens if not hundreds of murals on the concrete walls. This is one of the better ones IMO. It is in a very dark room and was illuminated by light painting with a small LED flashlight. Battery Steele (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Battery Construction #102) is a United States military fortification on Peaks Island, Portland, Maine in Casco Bay. Completed in 1942 as part of World War II, it is located on 14 acres (5.7 ha) on the oceanside area of the island, formerly part of the Peaks Island Military Reservation. It is named for Harry Lee Steele, who was a Coast Artillery officer during World War I. It was armed with two 16-inch MkIIMI guns to protect Casco Bay, particularly Portland harbor from Kennebunk to Popham Beach in Phippsburg. In 1995, after decades of non-use, the Peaks Island Land Preserve, a community land preservation group, formed to purchase the area and forever preserve it as a public space. On October 20, 2005, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (Wikipedia) |
