A Nice Historic Site within a Nice State Park Along the Water
Fort Miles Historic Area at Cape Henlopen State Park的点评
点评：Henlopen State Park sits next to Lewes, Delaware not far from Rehoboth Beach. The park is on a spit or peninsula dividing the Delaware Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. The park itself is well worth a visit -- note in particular how different the side facing the Atlantic is from the side facing the Bay, even though they may be as little as a few hundred yards apart.
On the Atlantic side south of the point you will find the Fort Miles historic area, which was an unexpected surprise for us. Fort Miles once housed 2,300 soldiers to defend the entrance of Delaware Bay from attacks from German surface ships. German U-boats patrolled in sight of land in this area, but, as we all know, no German surface vessels ever attacked this site. The troops here, however, perfected various artillery fire techniques and trained others who were sent into combat.
What remains are many of the block barracks, at least one bunker, several enormous guns, and various artifacts. The core is a museum housed in a former bunker, with explanatory material, models, and important items. The museum is only a few rooms (and most of these are part of the original bunker).
One of the best artifacts is an Enigma machine, apparently taken from a U-boat that surrendered here once peace was declared with Germany. If you have seen the film "The Imitation Game" about Alan Turing, it was almost impossible for the allies to even get one of these machines, and the bulk of the movie explains how they ultimately managed to decrypt it.
Outside, they have several enormous guns used for defense and one taken from an American warship. One striking display shows what a 1,000-pound shell from one of these guns would do to a steel plate even several inches thick.
There is no separate charge for the museum, but the park itself charges a fee by car (not the person). For Delaware residents it is $10, and for others it is $20. Particularly if you enjoy the entire park, it's a fair fee.
Anyone can and should enjoy the park. The Fort Miles section will be of particular interest to history buffs or those interested in World War II, but even the non-historians in our group were impressed by the artillery displays.

翻译：亨洛彭州立公园位于特拉华州刘易斯市旁，离里霍博斯海滩不远。公园坐落在一片沙洲或半岛上，将特拉华湾与大西洋分隔开来。这座公园绝对值得一游——尤其值得留意的是，尽管面向大西洋的一侧与面向海湾的一侧相距仅几百码，但两侧的景观却截然不同。
在半岛南端的大西洋一侧，有迈尔斯堡历史区，对我们而言这真是个意外的惊喜。迈尔斯要塞曾驻扎着2,300名士兵，负责防御特拉华湾入口处免受德国水面舰艇的袭击。当时，德国的U型潜艇曾在该海域沿岸巡逻，但众所周知，从未有任何德国水面舰船对这里发动攻击。不过，驻扎在此处的部队却不断完善各种炮火射击技术，并训练了其他即将奔赴战场的士兵。
如今仍留存着许多砖砌营房、至少一座地堡、数门巨型大炮以及各种文物。核心部分是一座设在原掩体内的博物馆，馆内陈列着说明资料、模型以及重要物品。博物馆只有几个房间（其中大部分仍是原始掩体的组成部分）。
最珍贵的文物之一是一台恩尼格玛密码机，它显然是从一艘在德国宣布停战后在此处投降的潜艇上缴获的。如果你看过关于艾伦·图灵的电影《模仿游戏》，就会知道盟军当时就连获得这样一台机器都几乎是不可能的。影片的大部分内容都在讲述他们最终是如何成功解密的。
馆外陈列着几门用于防御的巨型大炮，其中一门是从一艘美国军舰上拆下来的。有一个引人注目的展示项目，演示了一枚重达1000磅的炮弹击中几英寸厚的钢板后会产生怎样的破坏效果。
参观博物馆无需额外付费，但进入公园需要按车辆收费（而非按人头收费）。特拉华州居民的费用为10美元，其他地区的游客则需支付20美元。尤其是如果你喜欢整个公园的话，这个收费是合理的。
任何人都可以也都应该享受公园的乐趣。对于历史爱好者或对第二次世界大战感兴趣的人来说，迈尔斯堡园区尤其值得一看；不过，就连我们团队中不太懂历史的人也被那里的火炮展示深深吸引。
