Observation Bunker at Gay Head

Observation Bunker at Gay Head

Given its Memorial Day, I though this photo might be of interest. It is a concrete bunker built back in the 1940’s as an observation post to watch for Nazi U-boats or planes entering Massachusetts waters. If my memory serves me right, it once resided up in the cliff under the Gay Head Lighthouse. (Now known as the Aquinnah Lighthouse) But erosion caused its to eventually fall to the water’s edge. When? Not sure, but I think it fell some 30 years ago.
