A small motorboat bobs peacefully at anchor in the calm Barnegat Bay waters while a classic hip-roofed yacht club building stands elevated on pilings behind a wooden dock — this 1920 real-photo-style halftone card captures the Beachwood Yacht Club at its Edwardian-era prime, a genteel shore retreat tucked among the pitch pines of Ocean County, New Jersey. The sender, writing to a woman named D. in Cleveland, Ohio, scrawls a brief warm note referencing a fine time had at Beachwood — one of countless summer postcards that wove together the social fabric of the Jersey Shore and the Midwest in the early automobile age.
