    About this ebook

    In the mid-1800s, a quaint fishing village, called Nauvoo at the time, was the largest fishery on the New Jersey seacoast. By the end of the 19th century, this fishing village had grown into the flourishing seaside resort of Sea Bright. Luxurious hotels like the Normandie-by-the-Sea, Sea Bright Inn, and the Octagon House were built, transforming the town into a haven for the wealthy, who built elegant cottages along its coast. The famous Pannaci Hotel and Restaurant became known as the "Delmonico of Sea Bright." Today Sea Bright continues to draw vacationers and residents alike with its glistening water and beautiful sandy beaches.

      Sea Bright - Holly Bianchi

      Bright

      INTRODUCTION

      Sea Bright is a town that began as a fishermen’s village of Scandinavian immigrants and was known as Nauvoo. Later it became known as a seaside resort of the New Jersey shore, and it still remains today a popular seaside town.

      Putting together Sea Bright was a gratifying experience both professionally and personally. Professionally I enjoyed collecting the images and other material from both Sea Bright residents and family members of those residents who once occupied this great seaside town.

My father would take us on boat rides on his boat, which he docked in the water behind our house, along the beautiful Shrewsbury River, and on the Fourth of July, my sisters, cousins, and I would watch the fireworks and wave sparkles at the same time. There was amateur hour, which was held outside our house where my sisters, cousins, and I would dress up in colorful costumes and give a performance. Mine was a star-spangled costume, and I would sing Mickey Mouse, which came from the popular Mickey Mouse Mouseketeers television show. These glorious memories and the fantastic people of Sea Bright helped me relive them. Hopefully the reader will have the same experience in the following chapters to appreciate the magnificent seaside town of Sea
