My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.Fort Ives Fire Control Station.---------------------------------------------------------------------Fort Ives was built between 1865 and 1870, by the British in 1865 on the northwest end of McNab's Island in Halifax Harbour.. The fort was armed six 9" rifled muzzle loaded (RML) guns and three 10" RML guns mounted in deep embrasures with iron shields. Three casemates were used as barracks and a fourth was used to assemble munitions.Improvements were made between 1888 and 1890. In 1890 a new battery was built with two new 6" breech loaded (BL) quick firing (QF) guns. The 9" RML guns were removed 1899-1902 and replaced with more modern breech loaded (BL) guns.During World War I the fort was upgraded and there were several search lights placed below the QF battery to illuminate mine fields and the submarine nets anchored at Ives Point. , and went over to Point Pleasant (Halifax)Fort Ives was operational at the beginning of World War II but it was decommissioned in the early years of the war (1942) as the harbour defence moved further out. The fort's guns were moved to other locations. |
