I do know, I too thought it needs to be ammunition dumps… we might’ve each been incorrect! Upon breaking out my trusty Noah Webster Dictionary and wiping off the cobwebs I flipped open the knowledge-packed novel and grew to become a bit wiser. 🙂 Right here’s the distinction between munitions & ammunition:
Munitions – a broad time period that refers to all struggle materials together with weapons & ammunition,
Ammunition (ammo) – refers to a particular kind of munition corresponding to bullets, rockets, gunpowder, grenades or bombs.
These above floor bunker-looking issues seen in the entire pictures are literally World Battle II munitions dumps. The munition dumps at the moment are deserted out of date unused damp & darkish relics of an period lengthy passed by. These historical past wealthy stairs & bunkers are situated on the northeastern nook of the Truman Annex Navy Base within the southeast nook of Key West. These crumbling cement monuments are an eyesore to most however a fantastic website for a historical past lover like myself. Upon driving as much as the outer fence you’re confronted with these mounds that soar excessive above all of their environment and are not possible to overlook. My first guess is that they gained’t be round an excessive amount of longer because the above floor cement parts are crumbling in plain sight. Their frailty is apparent to all that it wouldn’t assist in the present day’s requirements with out a main ‘mucho dinero’ improve. It’s a disgrace that so many locals don’t know of their historical past and even what they’re and simply need them torn down. I like to recommend that you simply take a aspect journey to see these dinosaurs amongst a metropolis setting earlier than they too are gone and may solely be present in pictures of our previous.
