Description
The core of the Milky Way rises above Battery 23 bunker in Cape May, New Jersey.
Battery 223 was built in 1942 during the early months of World War II as the coast of New Jersey was a hotspot of German U-boat activity. It was never meant to be permanent, but the huge log pilings that hold the massive concrete structure have proved to withstand the test of time and elements. The bunker was built to hold munitions and as a replacement for Panama Mounts which once held four 155mm coastal artillery guns. Battery 223 was built about 900 feet from the water on high ground. It was covered in sod to camouflage it with the surrounding landscape. Due to changes in the tide, the bunker is closer to the water now and you can no longer walk underneath. During low tide the Panama Mounts can still be seen in the water.
