Searchlight Gallery # 1 

As at 18 May 2017

The intention of the searchlight is to light the target vessel at night for the coastal artillery guns to engage. These photos will feature Searchlight #1. Due to its more remote location, we have yet to identify photographs of this searchlight.

Searchlight Gallery # 2

The following gallery is to include all photos of the #2 searchlight.
