Since we were already in New Haven, we thought we would check out the Lunette Battery. Even though there isn’t much to see because it’s locked up, it was still a pretty cool way to end the night by chilling by the seafront and checking out the old fort.
The name comes from a French term meaning "crescent moon." The battery is said to have been a detached field fortification, built at a slight angle. It also had two parallel flanks where the powder magazine was housed.
