Gun Emplacement

08 July 2012
On the far edge of the island overlooking the Caribbean Sea are the ruins of ancient gun emplacements. There were 2 big 6 inch anti-aircraft guns here. They never saw action other than testing and training. It’s a strange feeling, standing up there, imagining the guys watching for Jap planes flying in low to attack the submarine base on St. Thomas. The guns are gone but the bases remain.
