Guns of Fort Phoenix

OK with the title I was thinking of the The Guns of Navarone which is a classic film from 1961

But these are some shots of the guns at Fort phoenix in Fairhaven early one morning.

I got there well before sunrise even before the blue hour hence the dark skies in most of these shots

Fort Phoenix is a former American Revolutionary War-era fort located at the entrance to the Fairhaven-New Bedford harbor, south of U.S. 6 in Fort Phoenix Park in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The fort was originally built in 1775 without a name, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Just off the fort, in Buzzards Bay, was the first naval engagement of the American Revolution, the Battle off Fairhaven on 14 May 1775

On 5–6 September 1778, the fort was destroyed by the British when they raided the harbor. A force under Major Israel Fearing drove off the British, both at the fort and when they attempted an attack on the town the next day. The fort was then renamed Fort Fearing. In 1784 it was given the name "Fort Phoenix" after the mythical bird that rose from its own ashes.

there are 6 cannons in total, the four in the first shot and these two
