Ridge Battery
-
-
- Ridge Battery consisted of four 15-inch
Rodman emplacements located mid-way along the ridge and more
than a hundred yards north of Cliff Battery/Battery Spencer.
It was first armed in 1893 with four 15-inch Rodman smoothbores
transferred from the Presidio of San Francisco. (They were dismounted
at Fort Scott to make way for construction of Battery Cranston
and Marcus Miller.) Ridge Battery was disarmed circa 1909. It
wasn't affected by the construction of Cliff Battery, and its
four positions are still visible as you walk up the "covered
way" to Battery Spencer.
