Synopsis
The compelling story of how and why modern ocean lifeguarding emerged on the New Jersey shore is told through 298 rare, unpublished, primary source photographs and fascinating text. This state-wide perspective of beach patrols, from Sandy Hook to Cape May, provides a unique, first-hand outlook garnered from interviews with many of the most prominent personalities in the lifeguard community. Learn the myths and realities of lifeguarding's history, beginning with the origins and pioneers, and how the United States Life-Saving Service emerged in response to early shipwrecks. Evolving gear reflects how technology has enhanced ocean rescue's effectiveness, paved with the guards' commitment to physical and mental conditioning. A window into the culture of lifeguarding, you'll enjoy the idiosyncrasies that have become common denominators among guards up and down the coast. This is a story that has long needed to be told.

Fine, fresh, unread copy. Color illustrated softcovers. 128 pp. with index. 298 rare, unpublished, primary source photographs and a fascinating text tell the compelling story of how and why modern ocean lifeguards emerged on the New Jersey Shore. The earliest visitors to the New Jersey shore would have seen and walked on pristine, deserted beaches. By the mid-19th century, the Jersey Shore, from Sandy Hook to Cape May, became an increasingly popular tourist destination and larger and more elaborate Victorian era hotels were erected along beachfront property. To protect tourists, the Atlantic City Beach Patrol, originally made up of volunteers beginning around 1872, was made a City department in 1891(it's recognized as the oldest in the United States); other lifesaving groups sprang up along the Jersey Shore in the last decade of the 19th century and first decade of the 20th (Ocean City in 1898 for example, and Avalon in 1905). The boats and other equipment evolved over the decades as well. Jeanne Bonk Baldino was the first female lifeguard (1944 in Belmar). N° de réf. du vendeur E35588
