Battery Kirby, obviously in Kirby Cove, was part of the Harbor Defense of San Francisco. It's a reinforced concrete Endicot Period 12" battery guns that was part of Fort Baker. An interesting fact...

Fort Baker Rd
Sausalito, CA 94965
Roop's Fort, located in Susanville, California, is the oldest structure in the area, originally built as a log trading post in 1853 by Isaac N. Roop. Enlarged into a fortified blockhouse in 1854, it now serves as the William H. Pratt Memorial Museum, highlighting the rich history of early settlers and their quest for governance in the Honey Lake Valley.
The fort played a significant role in the Sagebrush War of 1863, a conflict arising from border disputes between California and Nevada. Registered as Landmark No. 76 by the California State Historical Resources Commission, Roop's Fort stands as a testament to the region's historical significance and its tumultuous past.

Really fun to explore abandoned war relics in San Francisco. Battery Kirby was built and used around World War II when Pearl Harbor was invaded. The battery is just a relic but adds wonder. Kirby...
