Above: The Long Branch Ice Boat & Yacht Club’s “Clarel”, seen here in the early 1900s on Pleasure Bay, Long Branch, NJ. This ice boat is reported to have reached a top speed of 140 MPH in 1908. A speed record that still stands today, albeit with skepticism.
At the same location off Shallow Point in 1947, the pre-cursor to our “Thunder on the Shrewsbury,” and our annual boat show which features Jersey Speed Skiffs in action.
