Fire-Control Towers & Lighthouses
Towers 9 (adjacent to 10) and 14 (Broadkill Beach) no longer exist.
Special note: although it is documented that the HECP was in Tower 9,
my comparison of old maps with new maps appear to show it was actually Tower 10.
 Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse on the outer breakwater. Tower 11 may have been right next to the light (on the right). My studies suggest the Light itself was not the FC tower. N 38°48.871 W075°05.544 (USCGS) |
