In the early 1940s, a bunker on top of a high dune on University of Texas land at the north end of the island was used as a lookout for foreign submarines, boats, or planes near Port Aransas. One of the men shown there was Bill Silk, who was stationed there with the Army and later became a Benedictine monk. The bunker remained visible from Beach Street, and no photographs of the guns in Port Aransas were found because photography was not allowed.
