History of the Jersey Shore
Have you ever wondered why there is an elephant-shaped building
on the beach in Margate? A concrete ship stuck in the sand off
Cape May Point? Towns on the Jersey Shore named Loveladies
and Ship Bottom?
I did... and the result is this colorful tour of our coastal history, from
the long-ago days of pirates, shipwrecks, and lighthouses to the
founding of today's most popular summer resorts. The slide show
includes my original photography of Jersey Shore lighthouses,
amusement parks, boardwalks, and hotels, plus vintage maps and
images of historic people, places, and events.
Fee: $95 (Northern New Jersey / Southern New York)
