File:Plotting room casemated.jpg

This image looks ENE from in front of Pit A, Battery Whitman, Fort Andrews, Peddocks Island, Boston Harbor at the casemate that housed the plotting room of that battery of 12-inch coast defense mortars from about 1915 until 1940. The walls of the casemate, built into the slope of the eastern wall of Pit A, were over a foot thick. The inside housed a space of 20 by 15 ft., 8 ft. tall. A ventilation chimney is visible at top left. The windows were protected by steel shutters and the door was steel plate. The brick structure in the background used to house the radiators for the gas-powered electric generator in the casemate next door. The roadway in the foreground runs easterly back towards mortar Battery Cushing (now largely filled-in) and the parade ground of the fort. Photo was taken in April, 2010.
