St. David's Battery, Military fort at St. David's Head, St. George's, Bermuda
The coastal fortification contains two 9.2-inch and two 6-inch caliber Breech Loader guns, positioned strategically to protect the Narrows Channel entrance to St. George's Harbor.
Built in 1910, the battery remained operational through both World Wars, serving as an examination point where naval officers inspected incoming vessels for potential threats.
The installation stands as a memorial to Bermudian service members who contributed to military operations both locally and internationally during wartime periods.
Visitors can access the battery site on Wednesdays via bus route 6, which connects St. George's town to St. David's, offering exploration of the military structures.
The battery's guns produced such intense noise during practice that local residents filed numerous complaints, resulting in reduced live-fire exercises throughout its operational period.
