A Storm at Avalon   These photos were taken of a winter storm,
known as a Northeaster, at Avalon  When I was a kid. I think
this storm occurred around 1956, four years before the first
Breakwater was built on Casino Point. Later, a second jetty was
built on the south side  of Avalon Bay, which eliminated the
threat of such winter storms. My mother was the  First Female
lifeguard on the island, and the beach where the photos of the
wreckage  is is her beach, known as South Beach.
