Pretty cool. Men were men back in those days of boating.

Re: Manasquan Inlet 1938
Larry, very cool. Around that time period my wife's grandfather had built and operated a party boat out of Pt. Pleasant.

Re: Manasquan Inlet 1938
September 1938... I'm going to guess off my head that the Long Island/New England hurricane was nearby? I believe that was about a Category 3 when it made landfall in East Long Island...

Re: Manasquan Inlet 1938
It must have been some really good fishing for all those boats to go out in that. What a mess.

Re: Manasquan Inlet 1938
Really cool video. Like my dad said that is the time period when my great grandfather ran a charter boat outta there. Must have been wild.

Re: Manasquan Inlet 1938
Ocean in the background doesn't look that bad! Mouth must have been extremely shoaled up, like Shark River on the south side. Still see so many boats in bad conditions trying to negotiate inlets and too often without success. Something for anyone viewing this thread to remember, in a strong northeaster an inlet can and most likely will be flat calm on incoming tide but when it turns it'll be your worst nightmare. Don't be stupid, mouths of inlets are nothing to fool around with. Even if the ocean isn't rough as it appears in this case, a big NE ground swell with a west wind and outgoing tide will stack things and make it treacherous.
