They were long-range behemoths, part of a network of fourteen, capable of reaching clear across the Strait to the Moroccan coast. Imagine the roar as these guns fired, sending projectiles hurtling towards enemy ships. Edward VII Battery was a key component of Gibraltar’s defenses. It offered a commanding view and the firepower to control the vital seaway.
