Zd888. On the east side of the island is the Grande Island Diving Locker and other structures to support recreational activities.

Zd887. At the round circle stood the 2004 reception structure. It was built out of native materials and apparently had to go.

Zd873. The Fort Wint Switch Board Room (SBR), I knew the building was here since 2004, and then it could be seen from the road; but I never looked inside until this visit. It is large, has two rooms and is located behind Battery Warwick and the berm dirt of that battery is invading the SBR.

Zd872. Battery Flake and the road that leads to Battery Warwick and passé by the Fort Wint Telephone Exchange also called the SBR.

Zd871a. For this 3rd segment of 10 images, this former Navy Moral, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) map is provided. I marked on it the various venues or items of this 3rd segment. But it also has a note for the fourth and last segment.

Zd871. No 1 Six Inch Disappearing Gun of Battery Hall. As I said before, the present management seems to have fewer resources in keeping the guns accessible than 2 years ago when my friend Charlie and I visited.

Zd880. This is the swimming pool, which, I assume, was built by the Navy. In 2004 it didn’t have water but it was clean and no trash was in it. If you look on the Navy map it is next to the road that runs parallel to the 7 cottages. I assume those cottages were built by the Navy also. Those buildings and this pool are trashed now from all the commercial activity on Grande Island since 2004.
I did not look at the cottages this time, or Battery Woodruff, the Mine Control,-Radio and one Fire Control Building this time. All these structures are intermingled or are near parallel to the cottages.
And we know Battery Woodruff is blown up and not very much is left.

Zd879

Zd878. This is pretty much the end of the right end of the Casemate. I did not have a flashlight and I promptly fell over this machinery base, in front of me here in this image and lost my virus shield. I was glad to have looked inside. Next visit, I will look a little closer!

Zd877. The Fort Wint Mining Casemate, The wires to the mines run out from under this structure thru two small tunnels, I have crawled thru one of them in the past. Until two years ago all doors and windows were closed. This one door was opened in the last 2 years, thank you to the resort. Naturally I went inside to have a look.
