Zo808. The Army Lt. Chester K. Britt Research Team reports this: Also, report mentions a 3″ gun at Battery Jewel. Attached is a photo of a 3″ gun taken in 1941 which was labeled by Grace Britt, we assume some time after she was evacuated on 5/5/1941. Could be a gun that shot at that barge. We are guessing by coincidence that gun in the photo is aimed right about at Sueste Point. Again, you’re welcome to use that photo. Pretty good shooting with a 3″ gun to hit what I assume was a relatively small barge, that’s roughly 4.4 miles from Battery Jewel to the light house area.
