Henry Savage said the submarine tower has two floors inside. This morning I drove to the North Beach. Along the way, I took this photo which clearly shows he’s correct. Notice the two lookout locations.
Photo Shows Submarine Tower Has 2 Floors
Henry Savage said the submarine tower has two floors inside. This morning I drove to the North Beach. Along the way, I took this photo which clearly shows he’s correct. Notice the two lookout locations.
Two floors and one red-tailed hawk! (Look closely.)
The sub tower is visited by raptors of all varieties. Red-tails, however, are probably most common.
The birds benefit from the tower’s unique vantage point. Will people ever be able to do the same? It will be a sad day (and a potential headache) if the tower is left alone to tumble to the salt flats.
Hey Jonathan, good to hear from you. I appreciate the input. The red-tailed hawks are glorious! Good eye.
Yup, two floors. nice to know I remember a few things from the 1970’s!
Great picture!
This was one of several WW2 fire control towers used to aim the 12inch guns located on Sullivan’s Island. The guns had a range of over 17 miles and were intended to protected Charleston from enemy battleships.
