Photo Caption:

In this 1930 photograph, it appears as though the big gun is pointed directly at Portland Head Lighthouse. If you look closely, you will notice how many men it took to load the massive gun. Although the big guns are gone, this area of Fort Williams Park is open to the public to explore. (Lighthouse Digest archives.)
