Fort Randolph (Panama)

[1] Fort Randolph was built on Margarita Island which had been connected to the mainland by a railway causeway, so that the eastern breakwater of Bahía Limón could be built.Like most of the Panama forts, construction began in 1913 and the breakwater was complete in 1916.The fort itself was completed on 9 April 1920 and named after Major General Wallace F. Randolph.After World War I, emplacements were added for the M1920 railway guns.These emplacements were located east of Battery Tidball.
