"This bunker or gun emplacement was built in 1942. The round turrets on either side held 6 inch guns. The horseshoe-shaped structures which can be seen out in front at low tide are Panama Mounts. These were built in July, 1941, prior to the construction of the more permanent bunker, and held four 155mm coast artillery guns. A sister bunker stands across the bay in Lewes, Delaware.
When built in 1942, the bunker was covered over with sod and stood on high ground 900 from the ocean. It is built of reinforced concrete. The roof and walls are 6 feet thick. Erosion and storms have washed away the land in front of and under the bunker."
Until 2005, the bunker was held up by stabilizing piles never meant to support its weight. It is now on ground as a result of the beach restoration in Cape May.
As of August 2009, all entrances have been sealed by the state of New Jersey.
