Add to My List Check Off

Stubbert's Point Battery was a coastal gun battery situated on a rocky cliff overlooking the entrance to Sydney Harbor, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia, Canada. The site experienced two different periods of activity, World War I (1914-1917), and World War II (1940-1948). Last deactivated in 1951. Located just east of the North Sydney ferry terminal. Armament consisted of two 6-pounder Hotchkiss guns that were relocated to Stubbert's Point in April 1941. These single barrelled naval guns were replaced by one 6-pounder duplex quick-firing gun in December of 1943. This was the location of the western terminus of the Sydney harbour anti-submarine net. Three searchlights positions were also located here guarding the anti-submarine net.
