The marker at the spot says, "The British sloop of war HMS Martin which blockaded Delaware Bay in the War of 1812, was attacked, driven to the shoals, grounded and burned in 1813. Exposed by Hurricane Hazel in 1954 on Lighthouse Avenue in Cape May Point, she was salvaged, mounted, and placed on public display [in the 1954]."
