Aerial view from the bay, probably from the 1950's.
The aerial below was taken right after the storm in 1962.
You can still see the water is high and the sand is still in the streets

This is an older aerial view. You can see the West Jersey train line and the old car bridge are running into the town. The photo could have been taken between the 1930's and 1940's, before our current toll bridge was built.
These next 6 aerial views were given to the site by
Dave Townsend.

This one is dated June 1958.
It has a great view of the Coast Guard
building and their docks, which were still used at that time.

A bayside view, looking north.
My guess is that it's from the mid 50's.
It is before the storm of 1962, because you can see beachfront houses still standing out on the point.
A southern kind of view of the bayfront and the
trailer park. From the 1950's. You can see Mays boathouse, which stood where the Bayview Motel is now.
These are 2 scans of the same view. Taken
between 1962 and 1967.
A southerly view of the point, with the
Coast Guard tower out front.

This a great old view, taken before the hurricane of
1944.
You can still see the houses that use to stand beachfront
before the hurricane.
Another bayview, from the 1950's.
