"Ocean City was a small town in 1941. There were only two ways into town that summer: across the two-lane bridge over the Sinepuxent Bay that entered downtown at Worcester Street or down the unpaved single-lane road from Fenwick Island, Delaware, that passed miles of empty sand dunes...The war had been raging in Europe for over two years, and the fall of France and the bombing of London were st...

Ludlam are credited with introducing pound fishing to Ocean City in 1896. Once located on the beach in the area of present-day Ocean City Inlet were seven commercial fish camps, which operated, out at sea, 13 fish pounds. A fish pound is ...

In a precursor to American involvement in World War II, the Norwegian freighter Olaf Bergh ran aground about 60 yards off the beach at 94th Street on March 7, 1941. The ship was hugging the coastline to avoid German submarines that were lurking offshore. The ship remained stranded for several weeks until high tides from a storm floated her off.

Wow
I thought it was just me. I went to Ocean City in 2016 after not being there since the early 90s and thought it looked like the beach was a longer walk than it used to be from the boardwalk to the water.
Depends what street you stay on. 1st-5th is much bigger than say 25th street.
I wonder if horses from Assateague would come into Ocean City before the inlet was formed.
Great video. Think about this big picture Mother Nature created the Ocean City everybody knows today. If it wasn’t for that 1933 Hurricane things would be totally different today.
My great great grandparents where Mary and Conrad Trimper.
I wonder if they had Thrashers Fries?
Such a valuable historical document. Really makes me hope they preserve what's left from this time period. Which is still a decent bit. Much of it still looks so familiar! I wish they still had that car ride at Trimper's!
I understand that The Majestic Hotel at 7th St. and Boardwalk that was built in 1929 will be demolished and a modern Hotel will be built. so not sure if they even care about the vintage history anymore.
That is the storm that drove the residents from Hog Island off the coast of the Eastern Shore of VA.
Some of the best video footage ever shot and saved from that time frame.
why is this in my recommendations? youtuuuuuube???
Can someone educate me on this wreck. Where is it, when did it happen and how?
Thank you Granville Trimper for all the childhood memories and for future memories and thank you for the Tidal Wave roller coaster and the Haunted House.
Was the train bridge there?
The train bridge was sadly destroyed in the 1933 storm.
Why were they so close to the beach with that huge tanker?? I mean it looks like they are no more than maybe 20 ft from the beach. You guys have any more old videos like the ones from the 30s and 40s from years ago you have posted?
Hi Nick, Here is what The Salisbury Times reported on the event, "“Headed from Hull, England, to Philadelphia, for a cargo of war supplies, the Olaf Bergh went ashore three miles south of the Fenwick Island lighthouse at 4:30 o’clock yesterday morning. No reason for the accident has been given as yet but it is believed by Ocean City fishermen that the master of the ship, O. M. Kleffezex, mistook the lighthouse for the Over Falls lightship located at the mouth of the Delaware River. The course of the ship and the angle at which she struck the beach indicates that the captain though he had his bearings on the entrance to the Delaware Bay.” - The Salisbury Times, March 8, 1941. As for other videos, all of our posted videos can be found on our website at www.ocmuseum.org/exhibits-events/permanent-collection/video-collection. Hope this is helpful!
The Captains name is spelled wrong in the Newspaper. He was my great grandfather and his name was Ole Mikael Kleppevik
I remember riding the Toboggan Ride at Trimper's Rides with TRACY TRIMPER in Elementary School. Yep, I'm a Shorebilly.
Ted Brueckmann used to have the Ocean City Ice Plant
Yep, that was the Surf Ave. Parking Lot. Between 7th Street and Surf Ave. The very first building you see in the distance (on the boardwalk) is The Original Majestic Hotel. The Savage's Owned it. Yep, Billy Savage. My mother was one year old. The Davis's lived right there on 7th & Baltimore Ave. Yep, Sandy Davis. I eventually moved to OC in '61 from Willard's MD, just in time for the storm of '62. When City Hall was the Elementary School. My mother went to Elementary School where the Old Bamboo Apartments used to be at Third Street and Wilmington Lane. It became a Miniature Golf Course. Now it's a Parking Lot. Yep, there's the Brueckmann's Ice Plant (Brooks Brueckmann) at Somerset Street & Philadelphia Ave. The Man who came up with the name for MR Ducks. Yep, I'm a Shorebilly.
:'( It is so sad that the strong sailor who tried to get help was no match for the grueling waves.
It’s sad that people don’t watch these videos because it’s dull but this was how people survived,no bullshit,get the job done so we can eat!
Incredible Thanks for Sharing
Thanks for Sharing, Amazing that this movie of the Storm of 1933 is preserved so well. Was always curious how the Storm cut the Inlet, Thank You Very Much
Crazy how much has changed in less than a century
What is so crazy?
And thus, a new OC inlet was born. I tell ya though, I think OC has been extremely lucky when it comes to hurricanes and tropical storms. I remember Hurricane Gloria in 1985 looked like it was poised to do major damage. Luckily, it stayed just far enough off the coast and then sped up headed northeastward to cause minimal damage in OC.
In 1985 i was camping when that hurricane came by blew our tent away and tried to go back to the city because my family was there and my car stalled out on the bridge . I got it running before someone ran into us .
And to think this film is just a mere 7 years after the inlet was cut by the 1933 storm! Also the Route 50 drawbridge can be seen in the distance, and that was still 2 years away from completion.

Artifacts must be treasured as they are the DNA of our common past- they tell a story without words, and ensure that we look to another era through our eyes. Fundraising for this purpose shows that you care about your history, and in turn, the future.
WOW, We were one year from being smack dab in the middle of WW2, Was a little more peaceful then , Now in 2020 the world has gone to Hell in a handbag.
My dad was 11 then and he and his brother would wait for the boats and they would give him a fish so they had dinner.
Wow the Wizard of Oz didn’t even exist yet!
Actually, yes it did. The first Wizard of Oz movie was made in 1925. The one we know so well was made in 1939, a remake believe it or not.
wow love this. We have been to see where this was made in North Townawada NY
