The Highland Beach ferry pier and Shrewsbury bridge, ca. 1905
ca. 1905
Highland Beach, foot of Sandy Hook
The Highland Beach ferry pier at the west end of the Shrewsbury wagon-and-pedestrian bridge, ca. 1905. Passengers walk from the wooden covered station platforms at left toward the ferry landing at right. A horse-drawn covered wagon fords the middle of the pier carrying baggage from the incoming boat; the bridge's iron-truss spans run to the mainland behind. The two shops at right are Johnson's and a small stall labeled CIGARS AND TOBACCOS. Women in Edwardian dresses carry parasols; men wear straw boaters.
