Fear and concern during the Second World War prompted the
United States to take action to secure the eastern seaboard. These two towers,
located in the Delaware
Seashore State Park, are vestiges of that concern. Built between 1940 and
1942, these sentinels sought to protect the United States from enemy vessels or
foreign invasion. A total of eleven towers were built (eight in Delaware and
three in New Jersey). More recently the towers served as fire lookouts.
