Barnegat: Life By The Bay (Images of America)

Well-known for its hunting, fishing, and sea-faring
ship captains, the town of Barnegat, New Jersey, was
also a thriving center of industry and modern technology.
Steam locomotives once raged through the pines, and over
four thousand boats were built at the Perrine Boat Works. A
downtown business district thrived, and cottage industries―
like glass blowing and silkworm cultivation―also left their
marks. The history of the Barnegat area, which is chronicled
vividly in this marvelous new photographic history by Kevin
Hughes, is truly a varied and fascinating one.
