That was such a fun day dude! So glad we made the trip. I had no idea what to expect, but it definitely lived up to my expectations! Awesome video, as always!
Thanks for joining me on this amazing adventure, dude! Dutch Island was a truly fascinating location to explore, and the many ruins of Fort Greble that we saw were amazing! Definitely one of my most memorable abandoned explorations!
36:00 At first I had no idea what the ruins were, but the drone shots showed me that it is the remains of a fire control tower that was made of wood. The pillar was for supporting the Depression Position Finder inside.
Awesome vid! Love the collab. The lighthouse keepers house was razed in 1950, I think. The foundation 5:33 was more likely to be a well of some kind. The 1827 lighthouse probably had a stone foundation not a concrete one. 6:18 It was either the mining wharf or engineer's wharf. Almost all of the buildings were burned in the 1950s. 8:50 NCO Quarters or BOQ I think. The POW camp would have been long wooden buildings razed in the 1950s. 12:18 built between 1898-1904. 13:05 burned out in the mid 20th century, I think. 13:57 The end of that tank is covered in asbestos. 15:36 and ticks! There are so many stupid little mini ticks there. 17:10 It is the remains of the foundation of a 105-man barracks. 18:15 It is probably the quartermaster's warehouse. 21:25 Those letters on the wall were to designate storage for shell carts. I don't know that you have any videos visiting forts with mortar batteries. They were very differently designed than others. 25:43 It is a data booth which they do not have at fort Wetherill. It was for aiming the guns in each mortar pit. 26:15 the mortars would have fired over this wall. 27:34 It is technically the biggest.31:14 The power station. 32:15 Same function and similar design. Probably also built around 1907. It would have had wooden floors like Fort Williams, but these are long gone. Did you see any dead deer?
Thanks for the information and details man, I can always count on you! It was such a unique spot to visit with a lot of fascinating ruins. I actually did not see any dead deer, but I did see a few live ones-there were surprisingly quite a bit of them!
Thanks J. This brought me back to my youth.i explored dutch island almost 60 years ago. It wasn't as grown over as it is now but it had been used for target practice by the military. Good to see it's preserved.
If you happen to go on to this island just be careful walking around in the open field sections we found multiple open manhole covers if you didn't know it was there it's like a 20/25 ft drop

Wow, that’s awesome! I bet it was much easier to navigate back then? Lots of cool ruins there!
That place is Incredible. This is the first I've ever heard of it.
I can only imagine the amount of work that it took in the late 1800s early 1900s to build all that
If you’re the king of urbex, the deer at 11:04 is the queen lol
😂

Yikes, that’s a scary hazard! Thankfully I never ran into any of those while I was there…
