In 21 chapters of text and historical photographs, author Tim Cain looks at the roots of a unique seaside community. The book includes Ocean City's founding as a religious community, as well as the development of the Boardwalk, the Music Pier and the lifeguarding tradition. Also among the images are Grace Kelly's family - the royalty of the resort - and significant storms and shipwrecks, including the Sindia, as well as more of Ocean City's famous moments, facts and firsts.
Cain craftily puts the city's very nature into perspective...No one who's ever enjoyed living in or visiting "America's Greatest Family Resort" will easily resist this book. - Ocean City Sentinel Ledger
