This old steel look-out tower is located right off the beach. It was used as a gun battery for support of near-by Fort Saulsbury (a POW camp located near Slaughter Beach).

The towers used by Fort Saulsbury were 48-feet and 72-feet metal fire control observation points. They stood on both sides of the Delaware Bay. Miles of lead-covered cables ran along the floor of the bay to the fire control center at Fort Saulsbury. The towers were the eyes of men who fired the huge guns. Today, only one of the Fort Saulsbury towers stands.

Era: WW II
