Take a nostalgic tour of Tuckerton, New Jersey, a seaport town with
history spanning back to the 1700s. Over 280 photos of black and
white and hand-tinted postcards and memorabilia illustrate the
town's history, including splendid buildings present and long gone,
the 850-foot Transatlantic wireless radio tower erected in 1912,
and the bone-jarring antics that took place at the Tuckerton and
Manahawkin automobile racetracks. Explore the Four Corners, Main
Street, the Tuckerton Railroad, and Lake Pohatcong. Local residents
fill in the details of Tuckerton's history and people with tales as
colorful as the postcards, including a story of the local shipyard
owner who set up chairs across the creek from the launch point and
invited folks from out of town to witness the boat launch in front
row seats, where the unsuspecting tourists got soaked. For postcard
collectors, historians, and fans of a good yarn, this book will be
a wonderful addition to the library.
