Book Synopsis The Sea Bright Skiff and Other Shore Boats by : Peter J. Guthorn
Download or read book The Sea Bright Skiff and Other Shore Boats written by Peter J. Guthorn and published by Schiffer Pub Limited. This book was released on 1982 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rising demand for fish from New York City's growing population before the middle of the nineteenth century gave impetus to commercial fisheries in the metropolitan area. Fishing communities near Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, Long Beach, New Jersey and other areas scurried to find faster and safer boats. Although boatbuilders each developed their own variations, the basic design survived. Ideally functional, the sea skiff was adapted for rum running and as a life saving boat, and by sportsmen for fishing, hunting, racing, and pleasure boating. Today, these boats are used up and down the eastern coastal regions from Main to Florida. Dr. Guthorn shows in illustrations and text, the local development, details of construction, and materials used in building them. Prominent builders are listed with their dates and their particular techniques.

Book Synopsis The Jersey Shore by : Dominick Mazzagetti
Download or read book The Jersey Shore written by Dominick Mazzagetti and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Jersey Shore, Dominick Mazzagetti provides a modern re-telling of the history, culture, and landscapes of this famous region, from the 1600s to the present. The Shore, from Sandy Hook to Cape May, became a national resort in the late 1800s and contributes enormously to New Jersey’s economy today. The devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 underscored the area’s central place in the state’s identity and the rebuilding efforts after the storm restored its economic health. Divided into chronological and thematic sections, this book will attract general readers interested in the history of the Shore: how it appeared to early European explorers; how the earliest settlers came to the beaches for the whaling trade; the first attractions for tourists in the nineteenth century; and how the coming of railroads, and ultimately automobiles, transformed the Shore into a major vacation destination over a century later. Mazzagetti also explores how the impact of changing national mores on development, race relations, and the environment, impacted the Shore in recent decades and will into the future. Ultimately, this book is an enthusiastic and comprehensive portrait by a native son, whose passion for the region is shared by millions of beachgoers throughout the Northeast.

Book Synopsis Atlantic City Revisited by : William H. Sokolic
Download or read book Atlantic City Revisited written by William H. Sokolic and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1854, a group of engineers and railroad businessmen drew a straight line from Philadelphia to the New Jersey coast, built a railroad along the line, and created Atlantic City. From the 1850s to the 1950s, the city attracted the creme of American society and the working class alike and gave birth to the beauty pageant, rolling chair, boardwalk, saltwater taffy, jitney, and the successful Monopoly board game. But the onset of air travel in the 1950s and the aging grand hotels brought Atlantic City to its knees. The opening of Resorts International in 1978 and the prosperous gaming business that followed in its wake helped the city rise from its own ashes, and a year-round tourism industry exploded. Garish and opulent casino hotels replaced many of the boardwalk dowagers, and new palaces transformed the once desolate marina section into a vibrant destination.
Book Synopsis The Deadly Shipwrecks of the Powhattan & New Era on the Jersey Shore by : Captain Robert F. Bennett
Download or read book The Deadly Shipwrecks of the Powhattan & New Era on the Jersey Shore written by Captain Robert F. Bennett and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1854, two horrendous shipwrecks took place off the New Jersey coast. The Powhattan and the New Era were both American-flag sailing packet ships carrying hopeful European immigrants to new lives in America. The ships ran aground on the offshore sandbars along the shoreline between Sandy Hook and Little Egg Inlet, claiming the lives of many passengers and crew. The staggering casualties finally prompted calls from the public and politicians for reforms to the system for rescues that the federal government had in place. The tragedies ultimately resulted in changes that prevented countless similar deaths. This unique and gripping account offers minute-by-minute details of the deadly wrecks, their causes and their final outcomes.

Book Synopsis American Folk Art [2 volumes] by : Kristin G. Congdon
Download or read book American Folk Art [2 volumes] written by Kristin G. Congdon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 1433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folk art is as varied as it is indicative of person and place, informed by innovation and grounded in cultural context. The variety and versatility of 300 American folk artists is captured in this collection of informative and thoroughly engaging essays. American Folk Art: A Regional Reference offers a collection of fascinating essays on the life and work of 300 individual artists. Some of the men and women profiled in these two volumes are well known, while others are important practitioners who have yet to receive the notice they merit. Because many of the artists in both categories have a clear identity with their land and culture, the work is organized by geographical region and includes an essay on each region to help make connections visible. There is also an introductory essay on U.S. folk art as a whole. Those writing about folk art to date tend to view each artist as either traditional or innovative. One of the major contributions of this work is that it demonstrates that folk artists more often exhibit both traits; they are grounded in their cultural context and creative in the way they make work their own. Such insights expand the study of folk art even as they readjust readers' understanding of who folk artists are.
