Battery Chamberlin, Military fortification at Baker Beach, San Francisco, United States.
Battery Chamberlin contains four concrete gun emplacements built into the cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean entrance to San Francisco Bay.
The battery, constructed in 1904, protected underwater minefields outside the Golden Gate with four six-inch rifles mounted on disappearing carriages.
The site honors Captain Lowell A. Chamberlin, a First Artillery officer who dedicated his service during the Civil War at the Presidio.
Visitors can access the underground cartridge room containing military exhibits from the north end of the Baker Beach parking area.
This installation maintains the last operational six-inch disappearing gun mechanism on the entire West Coast of North America.
