Even after standing more than sevem decades as a war relic, Battery Hearn's giant gun still looks awesome. Here, a curious tourist seems dwarfed as he examines the cannon's external mechanism. Battery Hearn is located Southwest of Battery Way.
Another view of the Battery Hern's solitary gun taken from a bunker entrance.
Hearn's bunker burrows deep into a low hill. On top, trees and thick shrubs grow thick and lush as in days gone by, as if to still protect the facility from aerial observation and bombardment
A spare gun barrel lies just outside Battery Hearn's main courtyard.
Update: It is unfortunate that a certain government agency has opted to relocate this spare gun barrel to a walkway along an artificial beach that has recently been created along Roxas (formerly Dewey) Boulevard in Manila. The purpose? To set up some sort of a prop -- a gun battery with the possible purpose of creating a tourist attraction. The same thing has happened to the spare gun barrel in Crockett.
