Visit Bunker Hill (Hill 400), Unalaska, Alaska
Two months after the bombing of Fort Mears, Navy Seabees began constructing a defense installation on Hill 400. Also called Bunker Hill and Little South America (for its geographic shape), Hill 400 overlooks Unalaska Bay, Iliuliuk Harbor, and Captains Bay. This trategic location provided an ideal coastal defense site. Panama mounts for 155-mm guns were installed at the top of Hill 400. Small elephant-steel magazines stored ammunition and fuses; larger concrete-and-steel ordnance magazines were cut into the side of the hill. The two-tiered Base End Station on top of Hill 400 is visible from Airport Beach Road.
