Battery Gunnison

Gerald recalls how Sandy Hook where Fort Hancock is located, was an important part of the defense of New York Harbor. He toured Battery Gunnison, checked out the 6' gun and made sure that New Jersey and NY Harbor was safe for the day.



While touring Ft. Hancock, Gerald met a Coastie Gnome.


The US Coast Guard has a station on Sandy Hook, but alas, we couldn't get clearance to get on the actual base.
