Usurper's Watchtower
Dwight Clark Shepler
Accession Number: 88-199-FA
Original work: Watercolor
Original size: 30.25 by 22.75 inches

The lovely 15th century spire at Colleville-Sur-Mer Normandy dominated a view of the Omaha beachhead, and was a well-wired observation post for Nazi gunfire. On confirmation of this fact, the destroyer U.S.S. Emmons was called upon to knock the tower down with some highly accurate shooting at noon of D-Day. To those who sailed that ship the tall spire will ever be a melancholy ghost.
