I remember going to the gift shop and later, after it was condemned, my brother and I snuck onto the ship and explored it. There was a night club on the upper level and day glo paintings on the walls. I never knew what happened to the ship after they moved it. Now I do though. Thnx!
Grew up in Cape May starting in 1986 spent every summer down there drank many of beers on that deck never did I know what was below great video thank you for sharing!

left Jerz for Colorado a few years ago. spent every summer of my childhood life in Wildwood and Cape May. thank you for all of your awesome videos and great work.
@@WildwoodVideoArchive 3 years ago we spent a last week in Cpae May before we moved out here. me and wifey shared our first kiss at the top of Cape May lighthouse, I know, total cliche, but that lighthouse means that much more to us both now. 👍 I, like you and so many others, also worked on Morey's Pier. I operated the Condor for 2 summers then managed the games and 2 photo booths for 1 summer. good times. I was there for the RC-48 too. *LOL*
Wow Joey! Once again a super informative (as always 😊) video! No one in our family knew any of this. All have been coming to the Wildwoods since birth( except me who married into the family 😁)Thanks again and keep us all informed on the cool stuff! as well as the serious side. We always look forward to your next video!
This is the perfect video... Some History, great photos, and brought all the way to the present. This might be your formula- Past fused with the Present
I love Wildwood and Cape May Too, I'm safe at home from week now.... I'm working but do nothing else, I will not go at Wildwood Crest , as the next 11 years . I'm sad but I'm will be there the next year.Take care of you . Alain
I remember the SS Patty K from spending childhood summers on Rio Grande Ave. There was also a large old three masted schooner in the Wildwood Yacht Basin, its shown in a picture. There is some mystique about that boat as well. That would also be a cool documentary idea. Thanks. Well done.
Hey! I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I actually have a full history article about that ship on my website. Make sure you check it out. It was a beautiful schooner and world’s fastest at one point
Thought I recognized that building. My dad docked his boat at Mill Creek Marina just across the waterway. We would spend summer vacations sleeping on the boat and then take Ocean Drive to the Wildwoods.
Didn't know the name of it but seen the boat long ago when it was McNeil's Marina I was childhood friends with the family and it was my friend Bob McNeil's bus stop on ol Bus 16 in the early to mid Seventies for Lower Twp Elementary.
I would LOVE to know how far down the remaining “shell" of the ship is now. Edited to add: Fascinating and informative video, by the way. Thank you so much!!!
After watching your beach erosion video I clicked on the suggestion to watch this video and much to my surprise comes this story. Great documentary. Keep up the good work! 👍👍
Wow that is so cool and am surprised I have never heard of this (not claiming to be an expert) same for that World War 1 ammo bunker (anyone else reading this I am not confusing with Battery 223 WW2 Bunker). Always cool and keep them coming 😎
I went to a restaurant back in the 60s in New Jersey by boat someplace. It was built over a barge had board walk to dock rite over the old barge. The. A ferry boat in jersey someplace
This is so cool thanks for telling us. I might of already said this but one day u should go to duffers ice cream in wildwood and do a food review. U could also visit sea pointe village which is next to the giant building called The grand. At seapointe it is literally paradise
hey! Thanks for the suggestions. I had responded to your last post. Sadly Seapointe is private property (Owned by the Moreys) and I can't film on their property
Wow I've eaten at Harbor View a few times and outside on that terrace both times too, circa 2010. I was at the Crab House the night the floor cracked around 2008. It isn't the same since it re-opened IMO. Ate there every summer 1997-2008. There's another video idea.
Wildwood Video Archive no Joey I was a cell phone holdout and didn’t get one until 2012! We were seated for about 10 minutes before it happened. After the initial crack in the floor about 2-3 booths inside the main dining room to the left as you walk in, which sounded like a cooler full of ice being dumped over, a tearing/shredding sound, management decided it was ok to proceed with business as usual. Ten minutes later the crack turned into a crevasse. It happened inside and we were on the outside deck, when the crevasse formed someone ran out to the deck yelling “Run!” Someone on the deck said “Gun!”. I clearly heard run, not gun, and calmly hopped onto the dock but many people fled crazily thinking they heard gun.
You are referring to "the Atlantic." It was the fastest Schooner ever built and was owned by some of the richest people in America at one point. It still hold the title for the fastest Atlantic Ocean Crossing. Believe you me I am not combining the two ships/stories.
Wow, we go there for the awesome burgers! Never knew this. Thanks for sharing this with us. If you're ever in wildwood after everything opens and want to see an awesome band, please check out The Locals Band! Www.facebook.com/thelocalspbnj

Wow! Pretty cool never heard that story! I did hear the story of the Train buried under Turtle Gut inlet in the Crest. Keep up the good work Joey .
FANTASTIC! I learn so much about our local history from your channel! I have been at the Harbor View so many times but never knew this! Thank you

Very Cool. Lived in that area for many ywars and never heard of tis.
Same here.Its one of my favorite places down here.
What a painful death of the utica ferry. That is so sad to see her dying so slowly. 😢❤️ We will always remember her of her history and spirit.
I did not know anything about that, actually pretty interesting
Didn't know the name of it but seen the boat long ago when it was McNeil's Marina I was childhood friends with the family and it was my friend Bob McNeil's bus stop on ol Bus 16 in the early to mid Seventies for Lower Twp Elementary.

and much to my surprise comes this story. Great documentary. Keep up the good work! 👍👍
Loved this video and the history maybe one day you can try a pin before it sank would be a great idea.
hey! Thanks for watching. What did you mean by a pin for this?
Hope to check it out this summer.
Absolutely. You will love it. we love to seat outside when we go there . Gorgeous view and great food.
Wow that is so cool and am surprised I have never heard of this (not claiming to be an expert) same for that World War 1 ammo bunker (anyone else reading this I am not confusing with Battery 223 WW2 Bunker). Always cool and keep them coming 😎
thank you so interesting
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Great food ! Fair priced too for a upscale restaurant.
That's true!We love it too.
Have eaten at Harbor View many times and did not know this!
Same here. Thank you for watching!
I went to a restaurant back in the 60s in New Jersey by boat someplace. It was built over a barge had board walk to dock rite over the old barge. The. A ferry boat in jersey someplace
I spent many hours eating and drinking there I never knew. Crazy.
To be honest same here. Whats your favorite drink ? We love orange crush.
@@WildwoodVideoArchive I'm easy to please a Budweiser and a burger.
Nice
I grew up here - how did I not know this?
Yup wildwood and the lobster house in cape may is in my sights iam from Miami fla.but nothing beats the south Jersey shore be there in a few days .
Have a great vacation. Sadly the Lobster house isn't open yet
Anyone remember a big shipwreck that sat near or in Grassy Sound called Feast or Famine? I'm guessing it was a large commercial fishing vessel.
I did not know. I was there a few years ago for dinner
unfortunately I'm old enough to remember the sailboat
This is so cool thanks for telling us. I might of already said this but one day u should go to duffers ice cream in wildwood and do a food review. U could also visit sea pointe village which is next to the giant building called The grand. At seapointe it is literally paradise
hey! Thanks for the suggestions. I had responded to your last post. Sadly Seapointe is private property (Owned by the Moreys) and I can't film on their property
Ok sorry didn’t know about the film issue. Thanks though
Next time you should do a video on the ship at the golf course in OCNJ at 9th street. It’s a pretty neat story
That is a cool ship wreak. One day I’ll get to it
that cool thanks
No problem!!!
So, there's a Penn Central artifact in Cape May. Maybe some day we'll get there and have a meal.
Cool history right?
Interesting story, even though the boats been filled in, wouldn’t there still be a worry if the boat totally wastes away to collapse the bulkheads?
I was thinking the same thing.
Great Video, wish thay would
Teach History in School's....
Thank you. I love history. I hope you are staying safe during this crazy times.
Good clam chowder at that restaurant btw

I think we ate there last year on Labor Day
That is one of our favorite places. Did you like it there ?
16 HARBOR LOCK ROAD, UTICA , NEW YORK! NOW! NOW!
Can it be seen by diving? I’d be interested in going down to see
hey tom! If you watch towards the end of the video we give you a tour of the restaurant to see if we could see any piece of it
I'm pretty sure you are combining the sunken racing sailboat with the ferry story
You are referring to "the Atlantic." It was the fastest Schooner ever built and was owned by some of the richest people in America at one point. It still hold the title for the fastest Atlantic Ocean Crossing. Believe you me I am not combining the two ships/stories.
Is that harbor view
You will find out in 12 hours
geez how long has google earth been around? 1971?
Wow the ship was sunken bottom of the ocean backs in years😯
Just wait for the video lol :-)
So this Wild Wood Cape Town is May Restaurant because the ship got sunken by bottom of the ocean. And the ship 😭
I’m sorry. I don’t think I understand your comment.
dig her up its history
Wonder why I heard knocking on the floor during dinner!
Haha
RRRR miss me ol SS Patty Kay down by the SEA
well the dock is sort of ship shaped so...
Lower Twp Bridge... aka The 50 Cent Bridge
Omg I went there before
Do you know where this is?!
Cape may, I believe it's lobster house
Haha no. Good guess though!
