[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3696178, member: 7900"] More magazine areas. The iron railings overhead in such rooms were for transporting powder or shell in or out of the magazine for use at the guns. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Fort-Gaines-Dauphin-Island-AL/i-QtQZF6m/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Fort-Gaines-Dauphin-Island-AL/i-QtQZF6m/0/bee180d7/X2/DSC_2655-X2.jpg[/img][/url] These "tables" represent what powder or shell was stored on in the magazine.
