Awesome pics! I wish it wasn't so difficult to get to that island, but we're very lucky to have some "wilderness" to explore mere minutes from downtown.

That small fort you ran into is Strawberry Battery, built at the start of WWII and was manned until the Korean War. Interestingly, it's the only Canadian built fort on the island, with the rest being British. The four small metal enclosures were searchlights meant to support the two main guns behind.
