Last week I took a trip over to Peaks Island to explore an abandoned WW2 military base. A quick 15-minute or so ferry ride from Portland Maine, this place is so picturesque and peaceful I would recommend it to anyone who just wants to get away from all and feel like they are in a secluded location without a huge amount of travel if you’re in the Portland Maine area.

Battery Steele is a massive place with an almost endless parade of graffiti. Some parts of it are flooded out. The more adventurous could likely explore these areas but I didn’t want to risk damage to my camera equipment. I plan on making another trip likely in the spring of 2024 where I will explore some of the more treacherous rooms. Until then check out some of the photos I took below.
