Socapa Batteries, Santiago, Cuba

A pair of "6-in Rapid Firing Guns" in the Socapa Batteries, on the west side of the entrance to Santiago Harbor. Photographed soon after U.S. forces occupied Santiago in mid-July 1898. USS Brooklyn (CA-3) is offshore, at the extreme left.
These guns are probably 16cm (6.3") Hontoria guns, removed from the cruiser Reina Mercedes.
