Fire Control Tower No. 23 is #NewJersey’s last remaining restorable World War II tower, part of the immense Harbor Defense of the Delaware system known as Fort Miles. Built in 1942, the tower was one of 15 towers, stretching from North Wildwood, NJ to Bethany Beach, DE. Four were in Cape May County – the only other remaining one is inside Cape May’s Grand Hotel. The tower was restored in 2008-2009 by @capemaymac and is open to the public as a historic site. #nj #history #njhistory #historygirl #girl #fortmiles #capemay #capemaypoint #capemaypointnj #thisisnj #realnj #explorenj #explore #adventure #war #defense #concrete #firecontroltower #southjersey #jerseyshore #wwii #worldwarii #architecture #archi_ologie #exitzero (at Fire Control Tower No. 23) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxORl_pn48l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k44hk1da6dbh

A view of Battery 223 at Cape May Point, #NewJersey, from the Cape May Lighthouse. It was part of Fort Miles, a coastal defense system during WWII. Built in 1942-1943, this #bunker contained heavy artillery and was manned by a rotating detail of US Army Coast Artillery Corps, who spent hours on end scanning the horizon for enemy surface ships and submarines. In front of this bunker were 6" turret guns and 155MM guns. Battery 223 was used as a U.S. Navy radio transmitter station for the Atlantic Fleet during the Korean War. It was decommissioned in 1963. The bunker was originally 900 feet inland. Coastal erosion has taken its toll on the structure over time but the sand around it has been replenished in recent years. It was added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the @nationalregisternps in 2008. #nj #history #njhistory #historygirl #girl #fortmiles #battery223 #capemay #capemaypoint #capemaypointnj #thisisnj #realnj #explorenj #explore #adventure #war #defense #concrete #battery #southjersey #jerseyshore #wwii #worldwarii #architecture #archi_ologie (at Battery 223) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOyChmlOIc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ioxd9sl0mg4z

It’s a beautiful day today. Quiet and calm. Today the flag at Sunset Beach is flown in memory of Paul Pansini. A New York City firefighter who lost his life at the World Trade Center. His family has been flying his casket flag at Sunset Beach every 9/11 since 2003/2004. @sunset_beach_nj #sunsetbeachnj #capemaynj #capemaypoint #september11th #september112001 #september112021 #NeverForget (at Sunset Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTsWov4v2ax/?utm_medium=tumblr
