That is a really cool picture.

Wonder why that tank was left there. Was it lost in an exercise, was it intended to be used as for erosion prevention, was it target practice?

I think I have the answer, target practice:

In 1939, the began to use the Culebra Archipelago as a gunnery and bombing practice site. This was done in preparation for the United States' involvement in WWII.
