Shipwrecked: Coastal Disasters and the Making of the American Beach
Jamin Wells
Drawing on a broad range of archival material, Jamin Wells examines how shipwrecks laid the groundwork for the beach tourism industry that would transform the American beach from coastal frontier to oceanfront playspace, spur substantial investment, reshape ideas about the coast, and turn the beach into a touchstone of the American experience.
