Have you ever wondered why there is an elephant shaped building in Margate? Who build a concrete ship (and why did it sink near Cape May) ? Why are there towns on the Jersey Shore named Ship Bottom, Loveladies, and Rio Grande? In JERSEY SHORE HISTORY & FACTS, you will find answers to all of these questions, and may more. So join author and photographer Kevin Woyce for a breezy tour of our coastal history--from pirates, shipwrecks, and lighthouses to grand hotels, abandoned forts, and today's most popular boardwalks. Illustrated with more than 70 original black and white photographs and vintage postcard images of NJ lighthouses, boardwalks, and historic landmarks. (Updated and expanded from ""Jersey Shore Facts & Photos,"" 2007.) Kevin Woyce lives in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. He is the author of HUDSON RIVER LIGHTHOUSES & HISTORY and a popular lecturer on ""Jersey Shore History"" and ""Hudson River Lighthouses.""
