nhohmann is correct, it is one of several watch towers/detection towers that the Army used to "triangulate" possible approaching subs or other ships trying to enter the Del Bay. There were several gun placements that would defend the area. Including 16" guns similar to those on US Navy battle ships. Check out Fort Miles on the web with all the info of these fire bases.

This Park Is Actually Called "Ralph Stover State Park". The picture shows the Tohickon Creek in the Park.

Tohickon Valley Park (a Bucks County Park)is a few miles south of the bridge shown in the photo.

This is a nice shot of the bridge, which is now only for bikes & pedestrians. The creek is low- with the photo obviously taken in late Spring or Summer. During the Winter, and during the biannual water releases on the dam at Lake Nockamixon (at Nockamixon State Park, about 12 miles North) the water can get as much as six feet higher. Kayakers from all over the Northeast gather here to boat the Class IV rapids created when the dam is opened.

This is a schooner-rigged seagoing fishing vessel, c.1910. A 'skipjack' is a single-masted shallow-water dredging sloop, 50-80 ft, used on the Chesapeake Bay c.1880-1950.
