I worked for over 12 yrs at what is now known as the Biden Center. (1968-1981) It was Naval Facility Lewes or NAVFAC Lewes. This picture shows rocks placed there originally by the Navy to protect their sonar buoys as they left the building in the early 1960s, not during WWII. The US Navy moved from Cape May, NJ to Lewes in 1962. The move had been planned but the '62 storm hurried their plans to move sooner. Cape May's facility was in quonset huts and was completely destroyed in the '62 storm. I saw the photos. The rock formation at Herring Point deteriorated so badly after the Navy left Lewes that the state finally put a new barrier up. Your photo is of the new barrier. Between the barriers are the remains of a forest. At extreme low tide the stumps can be seen. Swimming here can be treacherous. Just wanted to fill you in a little. Love your photos.
