Seal Head Point Base-End Station - Location 150

no photograph

A two-story wooden cottage with a three-level concrete tower was completed in October 1943 on a government-owned 0.89 acre site at Seal Head Point (actually located on the south bank of Godfrey's Cove), and was used as a Base-End Station for Fort Dearborn and Fort Foster. This station was identical in design to the station at Rye Ledge, NH. The ground-floor observation level was used for Battery 103/Seaman (B10 S10), the second level was intended for Battery 205 (B5 S5), and the third-floor level was used for Battery 204 (B6 S6). The roof deck was used for the anti-aircraft intelligence service (AAIS OP 9). Searchlight positions #15 and #16 were located west and south of the station. The structure was demolished by the landowners in either 1979 or 1980. There are no visible remains.

Located at Godfrey's Cove, York, Maine.
