1907. "Atlantic City Boardwalk (lower right) and Young's Million-Dollar Pier." Out on the pier just beyond Marine Hall, and modeled after a popular Coney Island ride, is an attraction called The Tickler ("The big tubs go bowling their curious way down the incline, loaded with happy, laughing passengers," according to an item in the Atlantic Review). This image, a continuation of yesterday's Atlantic City panorama, shows at least two box kites on what must have been a windy day. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company.

Westerly Breeze

Judging by the angle of the blown skirts, it was a westerly breeze, blowing in from Pennsylvania, across the Jersey Shore, and out to sea.

Is this the same Tickler as seen in Cincinnati a couple years later?

Sense of loneliness ...

A few scattered figures at the water's edge are only the reminder that our beloved "actors" of this photo have left the stage.
