| Rebuilt Florida Coast Lookout Tower. Once there were 1700 on the East Coast and this is the last one remaining |
 |
| These towers were manned by civilians scanning the ocean for signs of German Submarines |
 |
| Towers began to disappear in 1944 when dangers to America on the coasts were considered unlikely |
 |
| This is the last tower left and Louis Cafiero monitors it for us |
