Margaret Thomas Buchholz

Editor Margaret Thomas Buchholz is author of New Jersey Shipwrecks: 350 Years in the Graveyard of the Atlantic, editor of Island Album, and co-author with Larry Savadove and Scott Mazzella of Great Storms of the Jersey Shore, which The New York Times called "one of the best documented compendiums ever published of what it meant to be there."

Born in Manhattan, she was brought by her parents to Long Beach Island, New Jersey, just in time to be evacuated by the Coast Guard during a northeaster. After college, she purchased The Beachcomber, a Jersey Shore weekly newspaper, and has published it seasonally for nearly four decades.

Her year-round home is again in Harvey Cedars, New Jersey, on Barnegat Bay, where her family has been coming since 1833.
