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.
