I'm not much of an artillery expert, but I have seen this forum and want to see if anyone is aware of Ft. Miles, DE.
During World War 2 it was Lewes, DE coastal artillery station. There are a number of observation towers in the area (one you are permitted to climb) and the Fort is being restored. There are various artillery pieces located there, along with many bunkers. It's located within Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes, DE USA. At a later time I'll post some photos of the artillery there (It's not just the large guns) and bunker batteries. Rick

I Rick! Hi Folks! I would be interesting to seeing any photos you would like to post along with info on Ft. Miles. I don't know much about coastal defense and would love to learn something new. Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance." General G.S. Patton Jr.

33 photos are posted in My Photos Rick_Eshleman. I tried to photo some of the signs, but did not have my 50mm lens.
