Our nation was expanding. People were flocking to the New Land looking for opportunity and a better way of life. Commerce was booming. The automobile and the airplane had not yet been invented. Moving people and goods was more of a challenge than it is today. Our seas and rivers played a major role in our commerce, travel, and even our recreation. This was particularly true in the development of the New York and New Jersey coast. The sea was more than romance or adventure. It was our very way of life and artists were there to document this magical period in our history. Port painters, whose livelihood depended on the accurate depiction of sailing and steam vessels, painted scenes of daily life as it existed in their time. They portrayed events such as rescues at sea and immortalized vessels involved in trade, travel, and recreation. Steamboats raced up the Hudson River or down to the Jersey Shore. Tugs guided larger ships into, and out of harbors. Yacht racing was a great sport in the day, and Sandy Hook and New York Harbors were prominently featured in the early America’s Cup races held in our local waters. The signifcant work of these artists provides us with a historical marker of what life was once like in our regional waters. This exhibition is a look back in time through the eyes of some wonderful maritime artists.

He served in the Royal Navy in World War I and was t detail: Plate 1 employed as a war artist in World War II. By the 1930s, he was considered by many of his peers to be one of the greatest living marine artists, whose patrons included two American presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson. 12 5 The Local Scene The distance from Battery Park, in Manhattan, to Sandy Hook is twenty-six miles. By virtue of its geographic location, the New Jersey coast from Sandy Hook south to Long Branch was center stage during the heyday of maritime history. Its proximity to the harbor in New York made it a The First Twin Lights (depiction circa 1828), Marge Ehringer, 1979 superb corridor for transporting cargo and passengers to and fro. The waters offshore also made it courtesy of Twin Lights Historical Society a competitive and enticing course for testing the speed and the navigational prowess of steamboats and yachts. Many of its geographical markers and buildings still exist today as a testament to a previous time in our history. The Local Scene gives us a glance back at the infrastructure, and people, during this exciting time in our history. Sandy Hook Lighthouse Built in 1764, it remains the oldest standing lighthouse in the United States. Originally called the New York Lighthouse, its beacon was first flared on June 11, 1764. Its primary purpose was to guide vessels into Twin Lights of the Navesink, J.

    Fourth Quarter 2012 from the Editor As Many of You Have Heard, Travis

    Fourth Quarter 2012 From the Editor As many of you have heard, Travis purchased a brand new boat. Not a good used boat, but a boat straight off the line. The boat, a Catalina 315, was christened "Kestrel" last month by one of the officers in the 60th Force Support Squadron. It replaces the much aged and badly damage 30 foot "Warrior". I have had the opportunity to sail her once. Because the boat is brand new, the Marina is going to be a bit more touchy about who sails her. Sailing "Kestrel" requires a checkout. Being checked out on "Warrior" does not qualify. "Kestrel" is very different. For Volunteer Skipper sails, normally two checked out crew members will be required. For the time being, classes will still be held on the old 27 foot boats. Students will then need to sail a few times with checked out skippers before advancing to getting checked out themselves. This is not a hazing program; this is designed to preserve a brand new asset. The biggest news this last quarter and the beginning of this one? The America's Cup. For two weeks, the medium size boats have been ripping across the waters of the bay. (I say "medium" because next year they will bring the "big" boats.) Some of our club members have participated by working the course. Some have been spectating from shore. Some of us have been watching from boats on the water. And some of use just watch it on television. No doubt these races are very different from America's Cup races in the past.
  • Superior Germ Plasm in Dairy Herds

    Superior Germ Plasm in Dairy Herds

    Superior Germ Plasm in Dairy Herds By R. R. Graves^ Principal Specialist in Dairy Cattle Breedings and M. H. Fohrman^ Senior Dairy Hushandman^^ Division of Dairy Cattle Breeding, Feedingj and Management^ Bureau of Dairy Industry WITH more than 26 million dairy cows spread over the entire United States, a survey of herds for superior germ plasm is a tremendous undertaking. How the survey which is the subject of this article was conducted among agricultural experiment stations and the owners of more than a thousand commercial herds is described in later pages. It is sufficient at this point to say that no similar project on so large a scale had previously been attempted in this country. Hitherto the genetic study of dairy cattle has been restricted for the most part to analysis of the hereditary make-up of the individual sire or dam. Some attempts have been made in studies in the Bureau of Dairy Industry, and more recently by the Holstein-Friesian Association, to show the inheritance for production being built in some herds through the use of a number of sires. To analyze all the sires used in herds during the entire period of record keeping, however, and to show the female lines of descent and their relationship to the various sires in a large number of herds, is pioneer work in the field of animal breeding. In the present state of genetic knowledge relating to livestock, many might call it premature to attempt a survey of progress in breeding superior germ plasm in dairy-cattle herds in which records of production have been kept over a period of years.

Saretzky, Curator Eugene Osovitz, Preparer Produced by the Monmouth County Archives 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era, 1910-1920 About one hundred years ago, during the 1910-1920 decade in America, the economy boomed and the Gross National Product more than doubled. Ten million Americans bought automobiles, most for the first time. Ford’s Model T, produced with then revolutionary assembly line methods, transformed family life for owners. Such personal “machines” led to paved roads and the first traffic light, reduced the need for blacksmiths and horses, increased the demand for auto mechanics and gas stations, and, when not caught up in traffic jams, sped up daily life. Some owners braved dirt roads to drive to the Jersey Shore, where thousands thronged to see the annual Baby Parade in Asbury Park. While roads at the start of the decade were barely adequate for travel in the emerging auto boom, New Jersey became a leader in the advocacy and construction of improved thoroughfares. Better road and rail transportation facilitated both industrial and agricultural production, bringing such new products as commercially grown blueberries from Whitesbog, New Jersey, to urban dwellers. In the air, history was made in 1912, when the first flight to deliver mail between two government post offices landed in South Amboy.

INTRODUCTION In spite of the utilitarian tendencies of the present age, it is fortunately no longer necessary to argue in behalf of sport; even the busiest of busy Americans have at last learned the neces- sity for a certain amount of relaxation and rec- reation, and that the best way to these lies in the pursuit of some form of outdoor sport. While each has its stanch adherents, who pro- claim its superiority to all others, the sport of yachting can perhaps show as much to its credit as any. As a means to perfect physical development, one great point in all sports, it has the advantage of being followed outdoors in the bracing atmos- phere of the sea; and while it involves severe physical labor and at times actual hardships, it fits its devotees to withstand and enjoy both. In the matter of competition, the salt and savor of all sport, yachting opens a wide and varied field. In cruising there is a constant strife 219316 vi Introduction with the elements, and in racing there is the contest of brain and hand against those of equal adversaries.
