Review:
Completed in 1897, Battery Spencer is a concrete gun battery located on Fort Baker at Lime Point with fantastic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and entire San Francisco. It is located high up on the top of the Marin Headlands, about eye-level with the Golden Gate Bridge’s north tower. When it was constructed, Battery Spencer was a very important site guarding the Golden Gate. Originally, it had three M1888 12-inch rifles mounted on M1892 barbette mounts. One gun was removed in 1917 and the other two in 1943, when the battery was deactivated. Today, the battery is a popular tourist spot, both for its historic role as well as the great views.
