Ocean City, which calls itself “America’s Greatest Family Resort,” is today best known for its wide, clean beaches and a yearly bayfront celebration called the “Night in Venice.” Founded in 1879 as a Christian seaside resort, the island community still maintains some of its early traditions including prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages—while striving to continue its long-standing reputation as a family-oriented resort. This remarkable new photographic history features such historic sites as the home of the town’s first resident and famous old-time restaurants like Chris’, Hogate’s, and Watson’s. Several rare pictures of the shipwrecked Sindia and its cargo are also included, as well as photographs of Ocean City’s most well-known citizens, Princess Grace Kelly and author Gay Talese.
