The pit for Gun #1. This pit wasn't filled in. It's partially flooded, and about 10' deep. The gun carriage that rested in this pit weighed 332.6 tons, which when combined with the 153.5 ton gun barrel, made for a total weight of 486 tons!

BTW, we're hoping to drain that gun carriage pit sometime in 2008.
