    Constructed in 1943 during World War II, Battery 234 was intended to house two massive 6-inch guns, ready to defend the Florida coast from potential enemy warships. Despite the rushed construction and considerable cost (over $212,000), the guns were never installed and the battery never fired a single shot.
