Palmerston forts, historical layer / disappeared object, former fort
Whitesand Bay was completed in 1893 with five gun emplacements--three 12.5-inch RML (rifled muzzle-loading) and two 6-inch breech-loading guns. The guns were removed sometime after 1920.
The gun emplacements now make for a fascinating caravan park location.
