Description
A waxing gibbous moon rises over Fire Control Tower #1 - as it did while this southernmost of 11 such towers served to protect the entrance to Delaware Bay from incursions by Nazi Ships during the early days of World War II. Just south of Bethany Beach, this tower was built along the coast to watch for the enemy and, when necessary, direct the firing of huge guns at Fort Miles (now Cape Henlopen State Park).
