Remember that long list of explorers you had to learn in school and likely forgot all of now, besides Christopher Columbus (which is tragic honestly, since not only did he not really do much of anything, he tortured, enslaved, and murdered the local people)? Remember da Gama? Vespucci? ...
Harsthorne Woods County Park is just a few miles south of Sandy Hook and also has a few bunkers from the same era as those found there. They were built during World War II to protect New York Harbor. The only shots ever fired were for practice. Battery...
