Exploring Abandoned Battery 223

The World War II bunker on Cape May's beach.

This was a few years ago. No idea if it's been sealed back up since, or there could be squatters or druggies inside now. Cape May has been nice so far, except the water not being as clean more recently. Wildwood nearby is partly ghetto.

Probably not haunted. Was finished late in WWII and never saw combat. Gun emplacements were only ever test-fired. They had a range of 9 miles! Was used again for communications relay during Korean War. Someone did spraypaint "Find my grave." Hopefully nobody committed suicide in there.

A bit shaky since I was holding a light with one hand and camera with other. And may have still been a bit wired from two cups of coffee.

Other floor plan: https://i.imgur.com/o2OtQqe.png
1:04 first Store Room
1:31 + 8:31 first Air Compressor and maybe Generator Room (actually not a mattress)
1:44 first small Shell Room (big orange face spraypaint)
1:59 first larger Shell Room "Whoever did that..."
2:34 + 8:22 second small Shell Room (black alien tree looking spray paint)
2:44 first Powder Room
3:08 smaller major Corridor (gross mud in center)
3:23 + 6:44 Power Room (maybe three generators, lower floor)
3:40 Plotting Room (big green&white "2006")
3:57 + 5:13 Air Lock (odd optical illusion, at least on video where looking in first way appears to be dead end but looking in other way from corridor later is the opposite direction end. What is this? Jim Henson's Labyrinth?)
4:03 + 4:45 Latrine (with big old rusted tank)
4:06 C.W.S. Room (Cold Water Shower? Has a fan in opening high on wall)
(One floor plan has Air Lock and C.W.S as one room)
4:14 Switchboard, Spotting, or Radio Room (has rectangular troughs on end of room)
4:50 + 3:55 (briefly) Raised compartment with octogonal opening from Plotting Room (not on either floor plan)
5:46 + 6:13 Water Cooler Room (lower floor and short opening to room)
Half of Muffler Gallery is behind Water Cooler Room, maybe just a small opening high on wall,
and it's supposed to extend back aside of Power Room. Other half of Muffler Gallery extended jutting out of bulk of bunker but broke off and later two rectangular openings left were sealed.
5:51 unnamed room (at end of corridor, with bricked in sealed back entrance) "The Greatful Dead"
7:02 second Powder Room
7:15 fourth small Shell Room
7:18 second larger Shell Room (big monster skull&bones and middle finger)
7:32 third small Shell Room
7:36 second Air Compressor and maybe Generator Room
7:51 second Store Room (by bricked in sealed entrance) "Find My Grave"

Rubble is from exterior structures just put in the now broken open entrance before it was sealed.

People must have spent a small fortune on spray paint.

Really do NOT use a lighter to check for flammable gasses. I was just joking around.
