Battery Way in Corregidor Island
Battery Way, with its four 12-inch mortars, was constructed between 1904 and completed in 1914. It can fire up to 8.3 miles (13.135 kilometers) in any direction. Battery Way was the last big gun to continue firing, even during the morning of May 6, 1942 — the day Corregidor finally fell at noon. It had been firing for 11 straight hours amidst constant heavy bombardment from the Japanese, killing over 70% of those manning the station.
