Abandoned Bunker

18 Oct

This was Station 77.  The left door was the entrance to the timing and firing distribution station; the right door led to the telephone switchboard; and the structure on the roof (Station 1511) housed camera mounts.  These were constructed for Operation Redwing (1956) on Runit Island, Enewetak Atoll.  Shifting sands have caused this bunker to lean toward the water.
