~1898-1900 Battery McIntosh Coastal Defense~Spanish-American War~ This is one of five gun batteries on Fort Dade. As a result of the Spanish-American War, the United States became a world power and it became necessary to fortify the U.S. coast, including Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Battery McIntosh had two 8-inch, breech loading rifle guns with disappearing carriages. Construction began October 1898 and was completed April 1900. It was named after Colonel James S. McIntosh, 5th U.S. Infantry, who served in the war of 1812 and died of wounds received at the battle of Molino de Rey.
