(MARI)TIME WARP! 19th CENTURY OCEAN COUNTY SHORE MEMORIES

(MARI)TIME WARP! 1903: DEADLY NOR'EASTER STRIKES SHORE, DOWNS FISHING SMACK RED DRAGON
Countless vessels have been lost along our shores for hundreds of years, each one a fingerprint: similar in concept, original in design.
Today's tragedy involves the fishing smack Red Dragon, sailing out of Atlantic City and lost in a nor'easter off Long Beach Island, as recounted by Toms River weekly newspaper, the New Jersey Courier. Times and tides may be renewed daily, but the dangers faced by shore fishermen remain ever the same. |
