Seacoast Defenses of Kodiak

Lower Level

Battery Const. #403,
Fort J. H. Smith, HD Kodiak

The layout of the lower level is roughly the same as the upper level. The most significant difference is the layout of the powder and shell rooms, which is changed considerably. The equivalents of the latrine and power room each have a ladder shaft to the surface, which are inconveniently accessed via a small passage way.

For convenience, the rooms will be referred to by the name of the equivalent room on the upper level.
