I was streetviewing around tonight on the Midway Island and found what appears to be a Sentry. A newer sentry at that! I know the US Dept of Wildlife has some work on the island, but I don't know of any military activities that take place on the island anymore. Wonder what the siren is used for.

Re: Midway Island (Midway Atoll) Sentry Siren
Possibly used for wild fires?
Here is another view I found of it:

Re: Midway Island (Midway Atoll) Sentry Siren
It's also a reasonable guess that it could be used for tsunami or hurricane warning.
Very interesting find, too - with only 60 people at most on the atoll it's surprising they'd need something of that size.

Don't wait. Take a siren photo today.

Proud owner of a frozen Model A, a Darley Champion "L", an Ademco 12V beehive, a few horns, a brass whistle and several old weather radios that sound like sirens. Those last three count, right?
