Along with these guns were three related fire control tower s : two on Swallow Cave Rd . and one on Nahant Rd . , plus a large underground plotting room behind Btty Murphy that served that battery ' s two big guns . Also , the northern series of magnetic loop cables , emplaced to detect enemy vessels approaching Boston Harbor , terminated on the shore just southeast of the two 155mm gun positions . All of these facilities were located in the area called East Point , at the extreme southeast end of the Nahant peninsula , as shown in the map at left .

John S . Carlile John Snyder Carlile ( December 16 , 1817October 24 , 1878 ) was an American merchant , lawyer , and politician , including a United States Senator . A strong supporter of the Union cause during the American Civil War , he represented the loyalist faction of Virginia , which was eventually separated into two distinct states over his protests . Carlile was born in Winchester , Virginia . He was educated by his mother until he was fourteen years old , when he became salesman in a store , and at the age of seventeen went into business on his own account . He then studied law , was admitted to the bar in 1840 , and began practice in Beverly . Entering politics , he joined the Democratic Party . He was selected as a delegate to the Virginia state constitutional convention in 1850 . Carlile served in the Virginia State Senate from 1847 to 1851 . He joined the new Know Nothing political movement in 1854 and represented Virginia ' s 11th District in the United States House for one term . Carlile was a delegate from Harrison County to the Virginia secession convention in 1861 , voting no on the controversial resolution . He was a leader in the anti - secession movement , and was prominent in the Wheeling Convention of June 1861 . On June 13 , 1861 , at the first session of the Second Wheeling Convention , Carlile authored " A Declaration of the People of Virginia . " The document pronounced Virginia ' s Ordinance of Secession illegal because the convention at which it had been drafted had been convened by the General Assembly , not by a referendum . It also called for the reorganization of the government of Virginia , arguing that due to Virginia ' s decision to secede from the United States , all state government offices had been vacated . He was averse , however , to the formation of a new state ( what became West Virginia ) , preferring that Congress should recognize the pro - Union Restored Government of Virginia as the true state government of Virginia . Carlile was again chosen to Congress in 1861 on a Unionist Party position , but kept his seat in the House of Representatives only from July 4 through July 13 , when he was elected as one of two United States senators representing the loyal faction of Virginia . He served until 1865 . In the Senate , he was uniformly in favor of a strict construction of the Constitution , opposing all measures recognizing that there existed a rebellion of states instead of individuals , and denying the right of Congress to interfere in any way with the slaves ( Carlile being a slaveowner himself ) . He frequently met with President Abraham Lincoln in Washington D . C . to try to garner his support for his causes . Following the war , Carlile retired from politics and returned home to resume his law practice . He died in Clarksburg , West Virginia , and was buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery .

During the build - up to the Second World War , Fairchild Aircraft Ltd . had joined together with five other aviation companies in setting up Canadian Associated Aircraft Ltd . The consortium was formed in 1938 to build the Handley Page Hampden for use in the Royal Air Force with Fairchild mainly contracted to build the Hampden ' s empennage . Of 1 , 430 Hampdens manufactured , 160 were built in Canada by the " Canadian Associated Aircraft " consortium of three Ontario and three Quebec aircraft companies as a so - called " educational project " to build up the Canadian aircraft industry and provide the expertise for building the four - engined Short Stirling bomber ( ultimately the Stirling project was dropped and the Avro Lancaster was substituted ) . Of the 160 Hampdens built , 84 were shipped by sea to Britain , while the remainder came to Patricia Bay ( Victoria Airport ) British Columbia , to set up No . 32 OTU ( RAF ) . Due to heavy attrition from accidents , a number of " war weary " Hampdens were later flown from the UK to Pat Bay as replacements . Hampden Mk I " P5436 " was one of the Canadian - built Hampdens . It survived only 100 hours of flying time before crashing near Patricia Bay , on 15 November 1942 , while engaged in torpedo dropping practice . In the 1980s , the Canadian Museum of Flight salvaged the remains of Hampden " AN136 " from Mt . Tuam on Saltspring Island and , later , " N132 " from a mountaintop near Ucluelet , B . C . Together with the salvage of " P5436 " in 1985 , a lengthy reconstruction project was culminated in the unveiling of the composite " P5436 " Hampden now on display in the museum .
