Battery Kinzie

Battery Kinzie, named after a US Civil War Brigadier General David Hunter Kinzie, was built in Puget Sound in 1908.  The Battery had two 12″ disappearing carriage guns at the post from 1910 to 1944, to be used to protect the entrance of Admiralty inlet.  Its beach side position allowed it to cover the waterway below the fog that often lay just above the surface of the water.
