Deep underground in Battery Mishler at fort Stevens Oregon are corridors and hallways to explore via an underground tour of what was a harbor defense command post during world War II, and a harbor entrance control post during World War I.

When my son and I took the underground tour of Battery Mishler, I took photos of lots of the old remnants for world war II equipment. It is all rusty and corroded with neglect, but still fascinating despite a fire that came through at one point and burned everything. This is the lower section of the power hoist, or what remains of it. As far as i can tell this is or was basically a big power box with wires running to and from it and probably had some switches or fuses in it at one point. All Products Tags

Low light photo using the night photography feature on my canon rebel t2i causes an ethereal light flare effect as the light escapes through the exit doorway of the gun emplacement. If you look closely on the left there is another metal ring on the wall next to a ladder. through the doorway there is a ladder that went down at one point, but the hole has been filled in.
