Battery Russell is a fascinating piece of history that dates back to 1904. It was constructed as a later addition to the extensive military installation strategically positioned south of the other batteries, with its face towards the ocean, to enhance the fort's artillery network. Battery Russell's two 10-inch rifles were operated by a team of 35, highlighting the workforce and resources required for military operations during that era.

Battery Russell was built at the beginning of the 20th century. It was named after Bvt. Major Russell, who died during the Civil War, and the fort served as a defense system until the end of the Second World War.
