On a barrier island near the southern tip of the Jersey shore lies
the borough of Stone Harbor. Resting between the shore and the salt
marshes, Stone Harbor was recognized in the early 1900s as a
natural summer retreat. Stone Harbor presents the development of
this popular vacation destination with historical pictures and the
previously unpublished photographs of Percy J. Cole. As seen
through the lens of this talented photographer, Stone Harbor in the
1930s through the 1970s represents days remembered as those of
ideal summers at the shore.
Stone Harbor has the distinction of being one of the earliest
planned resorts. The Risley brothers were responsible for
transforming idyllic dunes into broad avenues for a town that
boasted all the modern utilities. Photographs of the construction
scenes that brought about this change, architectural overviews of
the first "cottages," other scenes from the then sparsely populated
town, and wildlife photographs from the only town-supported heronry
in the United States are just part of what make up this beautiful
collection. Stone Harbor includes a look at the nautical life of
this seaside resort, which is home to the Comet class sailboat.
