[loverosesbabyv]

I've been in that bunker. You used to be able to enter it in the '70's. It's down the road from the cement ship on diamond beach.

@TheChuck624 Only if such fortifications were meant to withstand storm or seige, which they hardly ever did in Patton's era. This one in Cape May was simply a largish coastal artillery emplacement and comms/observation point to help counter the U-boat menace; U-boats couldn't harm it, so it lasted until not needed anymore.

@TheChuck624 Patton said that before he ran into the fortifications around Metz - which ate his lunch.

Where exactly is is?

[VICNASTY1989]

This used to be out in the water. I go there all the time. You would really like the gun emplacements at Sandy Hook, NJ if you haven't been there.

When I was 10 I walked through the bunker, it had massive steel doors. Thats 40 years ago. Lots of cool sites in ole Cape may. Ugly mug still open ?

[JukeboxHeartbreak91]

i'm sorry for the dumb question, but i used to come here all the time as a child, and if i remember correctly the bunker used to be on stilts, when did they take it down?

[psedie]

@JukeboxHeartbreak91 Not a dumb question! The bunker was not removed from the stilts -- rather, the space underneath was filled with sand to counteract beach erosion. Starting at 1:34 you can still see the original pilings.

[JukeboxHeartbreak91]

@psedie no shit? so is the entire beach like ascending up to that point? because if i remember correctly the stilts were up quite a bit, maybe 20 feet or so? is it the entire beach they added to? or just the bunker?
