Long Beach Island Historical Postcard Book

The companion books by John Bailey Lloyd — Eighteen Miles of History on Long Beach Island and Six Miles At Sea — contain nearly 500 historic photographs and illustrations of the Island’s past. Here, as rich postcard-size prints are 22 of the most compelling images from those books.

Lost landmarks — such as the Beach Haven Boardwalk, the big Edwardian era hotels, and the Long Beach Railroad — are here, along with early images of Barnegat Lighthouse, beach and bay scenes, picturesque catboats, pound fishing, the Fortuna wreck, the U.S. Life-Saving Service, and more.
