Summary
| Description | East casemate (gun emplacement) of Battery Hoskins for US Army Coastal Artillery at Fort Crockett on Galveston Island, Texas. Built in the 1940s, this casemate protected a piece of long-range artillery placed to defend Galveston Island and the entrance to Galveston Bay (and the Bay's various cities and ports.) Too massive to be removed, it was abandoned and served as an unofficial tourist attraction for the second half of the 20th Century. A hotel and resort has now been built around it, with an effort to screen the casemates behind greenery. |
