Author and photographer Kevin Woyce takes readers on a guided tour of Jersey Shore history, from pirates and shipwrecks to boardwalk amusements and the "Doo Wop" architecture of the Wildwoods. Along the way, he tells the stories of shore icons Lucy the Elephant and Tillie, explains the disappearance of Tucker's Island, and reveals how many of our shore towns--from Barnegat to Ship Bottom--got their unusual names.

 

Illustrated with more than 3 dozen original black and white photographs of Jersey Shore lighthouses, boardwalks, and historic landmarks.
