Fort Pickens Part 2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2017
- Continuing on from part 1, we explore Battery Pensacola and how they stored, transported, and moved the shells for the 12" disappearing guns up to where the guns were positioned. One of the shell hoist systems are still in place and was amazing to see!
After exploring most of the fort, we drove down to Battery 234 and Battery Cooper where they have other guns on display you can see up close and personal, including a 6" disappearing gun!
While on top of Battery Cooper you can see just how beautiful the Gulf of Mexico is and all of the white sandy beaches here.
We stopped off at the local favorite Peg Leg Pete's for some seafood lunch.

Thanks you and Abby for bring us along....
I came here because i love watching machinery work but it´s cool to watch this Old fortstuff, As i come from Sweden it will most likely never see this irl and i really like it!
Thanks for a great tour of Battery Pensacola and the surrounding area, Peg Leg Pete's food looked delicious. Another great video from you two.
Glad to see more of Abby.
Happy for the both of you.

Thanks, you two, for taking us along on another interesting and educational road trip!
Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure though history.
Thanks for pausing so we could read the historical signs. Added a lot to the videos.
During WWII many coastal forts were either closed or saw their manning significantly reduced. Officers and soldiers of the Coast Artillery Corps were retrained as anti aircraft gun crews. After the war the coastal forts were closed and the Air Defense Corps was established. They built Nike sites around every major city and they were are last system of defensive military fortifications.
+Bib Overalls I enjoy reading about the history of the forts and learning about them, just as you explained here. Thanks.
Thanks guys love the old forts and guns
Very Cool!!!!
Thank You Both for the adventure!!!!
Michael

Steve,
Thanks for sharing, exellent video! great that you showed the signs - really interesting history.
Help from KC Abbey,thank you both for taking us with you 🌹
Always love the food visits at the end.
Love the videos Adam. Your one of the only reasons I still use youtube. CNC machinist and amateur cannon maker. Love the smiles Abby 😍
Ain't that Nice, Everyone? Thanks for the TOUR.. I like the shade of that sand.. Plenty of sand.. Looks like it gets blown unto the access roads..Order me a plate of Shrimp and a plate of Clams and Fries.. Thanks..
Parts 1 and 2 were very interesting. I live in the middle of dry old Southern Alberta Canada, and there isn't anything like ocean or white sand around here. Thanks
these are great videos Adam and Abby, keep it going!
Good Golly! I use to go by there all the time on the Interstate, but never knew so much history was there. Thanks so much for the video.
Its Africa hot out today. lol A very apt description. Thanks for letting us share your day. Cheers.
A big hello from Independence MO. I love Fort Pickens. We have been there 3 times in the last 10 years. Keep the great videos coming!
+airmail793 That's where Abby's grandparents live.
Next shop project: Abom builds his own disappearing cannon!
Awesome tour. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks guys....I feel like I'm there with you .
Thank for the ride along.
Adam,
Thank you, I really enjoyed Ft. Pickens and your stop at Peg Leg Pete's.
Terrific getaway videos.
+Jeff Bernstein thanks Jeff glad you enjoyed!
Adam,
Indeed I did.
Still battling cancer, but I'm doing OK.
Thanks for all the wonderful videos. Have a great day.
Happy for you and Abby.
Great interesting videos. Food at Peg Leg Petes looked fantastic!!
+patrick shaw Good place!
I luuuv Peg Leg Pete's!!! Looks like y'all had fun. No sand spurs and no fire ants, this time.
The elevator hoist was powered by a armstrong motor, AKA known as brute force. This explains the large number of men on a gun crew.
Those guns on the batteries must had a long range, cause they are really into the land, far from the waters. Great piece of history.
Thank you so much for sharing such great videos. Much appreciated together of course with the engineering SNS's
Hello from Kansas City!
Looks like a lot of fun.
Great video love Abby's shirt
You both seem perfect together, I am so happy for you both and it seems everywhere you go there is some type of machinery. and yum to those oysters ours come from Chesapeake Bay which is only 42 minutes from here.
good as anything I've seen on tv.
Just awesome.
Adam - Another interesting road trip. I will need to google Ft. Pickens and find out more about the history. You and Abby always have a good time on these trips. The weather was very nice. So Abby is from Kansas City! Finally learned something about her!!! Keep traveling and making videos.
Check the video descriptions as I posted several links on info on the Fort and Batteries.
Gotta have some sweet green Tabasco sauce with them oysters, man. That stuff is money, lol!
I am a muzzle loading fan but don't think I'd like to buy the powder for those old cannons. The newer ones were breech loaders; the projectile went in first and then powder. I think the powder was in bags and the more bags the more range until the breech or the barrel wouldn't handle the pressure. Headache city, Greg. What? (No more brick comments? We gotta get them when we can.) Hey, old Peg Leg could buy a pair of socks and they would last twice as long!
Your right about them socks! LOL
Thanks for sharing your trips with us. Very interesting places to visit. Keep up the good work. Dick L
.
More fun thanks!
GREAT VIDEO !!! MORE ABBY , PLEASE !
I keep expecting you to pull out your scale to measure things, or to get a comparison of size :D
Many tropical beaches are white due to parrot fish droppings, but looking at the amount of white in your video, that would have been a lot of parrot fish :P :D
Sparky Projects the sand there is a soft white quartz, it's natural color is bright white.
I know, i was making an observation ;)
Well, Sparky Projects, he did use what I would assume to be massive hands as a good size comparison on the fragment of the smoothbore cannon. I bet Adam could damn near shoulder one of those disappearing guns
125cc Hand Made Miniature V10 Engine. Thanks Abom you aer a COOL Dude :-)
I like the moonshine shirt!
Adam: I enjoyed that. Thank you
Excellent video guys!!!!!! The brick work is amazon, my father, grandfather and great grandfather are masons. Thank You. Matt C
well done Adam -- lovely girl , why dont you let her loose on the BRIDGEPORT ? she might love it .
adam 1,2 very cool.
That's a whole lot of bricks. Any idea where they came from (too much sand locally)?
I believe many of them were made right from the Pensacola area, and even the Mobile area. Inland there is lots of clay.
Wouldn't it be crazy if you wound up on the Travel Channel instead of the
Machinists (I wish) Channel! :)

Adam,
Thanks for the tour of Fort Pickens. At least we got to see it before a bunch of left wingers demand it be torn down as
"offensive"
