Sevigny | A Return to Manning the Post: The Adaptive Reuse of Publically Owned Fire Control Stations from the Second World War | May 2012 ii DEDICATION For the 10th Coast Artillery Regiment of Narragansett Bay - New Bedford and the 11th Coast Artillery Regiment of the Long Island Sound. Your legacy has endured through the harbor defenses that remain along the coastline. It is my hope these structures will endure as symbols of the dedication, efforts, and sacrifices you made during the war effort. D. Sevigny | A Return to Manning the Post: The Adaptive Reuse of Publically Owned Fire Control Stations from the Second World War | May 2012 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank Gordon Bliss, Craig Lentz, and Mark Berhow of the Coastal Defense Study Group for providing me invaluable information and feedback on harbor defense. Also major thanks to Martin K. Gordon of the Council on America’s Military Past for providing additional knowledge on harbor defense as well as Major Mark Gabriele and Master Sergeant James Loffler for allowing me access to Camp Varnum and providing me with a great tour of the buildings and site. Thank you to Tim Allen of the Carter Real Estate Center at the College of Charleston for giving your time and expertise in real estate investment for reviewing my cost analyses. Thank you to Angela Tafone and Joshua Patterson for helping me attain many of the cost estimates from RS Means. I could not have done it without you! I would like to thank Jeremy Wells, Philip Marshall, Arnold Robinson, Rick Greenwood, Hasan-Uddin Khan and Okan Ustunkok for guiding me over the past five years during my studies in Historic Preservation. This thesis exemplifies all five years in various forms, and none of it would have been possible without your invaluable teachings over the years. I would also like to thank my family for their tireless support and understanding throughout my studies. It is impossible to gauge how much you have all helped me over the past five years, and I could not thank you enough. I would also like to thank Liz for being so supportive throughout the year. I could not have done it without you. Thank you! And finally, I would like to thank Marge Winski for showing me to the two “bunkers” at Shadmoor State Park during the summer of 2000. Twelve years later, that single visit has morphed into this graduate thesis. Who knew? The Author at Station 3-A at Shadmoor State Park in 2000. Photo Credit: Marge Winski D.

  • Delaware -Fort Miles Military Reservation FUDS
    Fort Miles Military Reservation, DE FACT SHEET as of March 2, 2018 AUTHORIZATION: Defense Environmental Restoration Program TYPE OF PROJECT: Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) PROJECT PHASE: Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) Feasibility Study, Proposed Plan, Removal Actions, Design and Implementation of Land Use Controls CONGRESSIONAL INTEREST: Senators Carper and Coons (DE) and Representative Blunt (DE-At Large) BACKGROUND: The former Fort Miles Military Reservation (FMMR), originally called Cape Henlopen Military Reservation, consisted of 2,011.25 acres located in Lewes, Sussex County, Delaware. The Post was formally named Fort Miles in 1938.The FMMR served primarily as a Coast Artillery Installation during World War I and World War II, providing for the defense of Delaware’s Atlantic coast line and protection of the entrance to Delaware Bay. In 1941, the Department of the Navy established the Harbor Entrance Control Post and placed mines in the channel leading to the Delaware Bay. A fortress with gun emplacements, ammunition dumps, and living quarters was constructed. Several small arms firing ranges and a 3.5-inch rocket range were also established. Approximately 60 percent of the site was used for military training. During World War II, Fort Miles was also used as a prisoner of war camp for German and Italian prisoners. Following World War II, the site remained an active Army installation and was used as a training post during the Korean War. The FMMR closed in 1958. In 1961, any remaining land was transferred to the Department of Navy, which was subsequently transferred to the State of Delaware in 1996.

  • Remember Mid-April 1970, America Was Angry
    EAaN rth Day TO Remember mid-April 1970, America was angry. The baby boomers had become cynical, mistrusting In parents, business, industry and Back in 1970, John Stenger government. This generation was especially disdainful of the so-called military-indus - and a band of students came to trial complex that President Dwight Eisenhower had warned about. The Vietnam War dragged on, filling the defense of Cape Henlopen’s the 6 o’clock news with death and destruction, and no end was in sight. The previous month, the Army had imperiled dunes charged 14 officers with suppressing the truth about the horrific My Lai massacre in Vietnam, where as many as 500 essentially unarmed civilians had been murdered by U.S. troops. The hopeful Apollo 13 moon mission had suffered an oxygen tank explosion a few days before, forcing its hasty retreat to Earth. The Cold War with the communist USSR was tense and dispiriting, and Paul McCartney had just announced the breakup of the Beatles. To many Americans, the future seemed dismal and hundreds of thousands had taken to the streets and college cam - puses to protest the nation’s various problems. Among those concerns was the environment. Decades of hellbent-for-leather industrial develop - ment with little regard for the land, oceans and air was taking an ever-greater toll. To a growing number of people, this threat trumped all others: If you can’t breathe the air, can’t eat the food, and can’t drink the water, little else mattered. Scientists and other con - cerned individuals were beginning to sound the alarm, and people were beginning to listen.

  • Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands
    PART I — INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Islands attract attention.They sharpen people’s perceptions and create a tension in the landscape. Islands as symbols often create wish-images in the mind, sometimes drawing on the regenerative symbolism of water. This book is not about natural islands, nor is it really about crannogs — these small man-made islands. It is about the people who have used and lived on these crannogs over time.The tradition of island-building seems to have fairly deep roots, perhaps even going back to the Mesolithic, but the traces are not unambiguous.While crannogs in most cases have been understood in utilitarian terms as defended settlements and workshops for the wealthier parts of society, or as fishing platforms, this is not the whole story.I am interested in learning more about them than this.There are many other ways to defend property than to build islands, and there are many easier ways to fish. In this book I would like to explore why island-building made sense to people at different times. I also want to consider how the use of islands affects the way people perceive themselves and their landscape, in line with much contemporary interpretative archaeology,and how people have drawn on the landscape to create and maintain long-term social institutions as well as to bring about change. The book covers a long time-period, from the Mesolithic to the present. However, the geographical scope is narrow. It focuses on the region around Lough Gara in the north-west of Ireland and is built on substantial fieldwork in this area.

  • The Concrete Battleship Was Flooded, the Guns Drained of Recoil Oil and Fired One Last Time, the Colors
    The Iowan History letter Vol. 5 Number 2 Second Quarter, 2016 The Concrete Initially Fort Drum was planned as a mine control and mine casemate station. However, due to inadequate de- fenses in the area, a plan was devised to level the island, and then build a concrete structure on top of it armed with Battleship two twin 12-inch guns. This was submitted to the War Department, which decided to change the 12-inch guns to 14-inch guns mounted on twin armored turrets. The forward turret, with a traverse of 230°, was mounted on the forward portion of the top deck, which was 9 ft below the top deck; the rear turret, with a full 360° traverse, was mounted on the top deck. The guns of both turrets were capable of 15° elevation, giving them a range of 19,200 yards. Secondary armament was to be provided by two pairs of 6-inch guns mounted in armored casemates on either side of the main structure. There were two 3-inch mobile AA guns on “spider” mounts for anti-aircraft de- fense. Fort Drum in the 1930s Overhead protection of the fort was provided by an 20- Fort Drum (El Fraile Island), also known as “the con- foot thick steel-reinforced concrete deck.
