Battery Mishler Power Hoist Sticker

deep below ground in Battery Mishler in what was once a harbor defense command post in World War II, and a harbor entrance control post in world War I, is this burnt out and abandoned power hoist. at one point after the site was no longer in use some vagrants went in there and lit a fire to keep warm, and the entire place went up in flames . Now all that remains is a shell of what once was a powerful and vibrant military center. the low lighting in this photo gives it an otherworldly ghostly effect like trying to peer into the past.
