From Carol Livingstone. “Thought you might enjoy this photo of my mom and grandparents in front of the Morrow Castle. It was taken in 1934. ” Special to Blogfinger ©
In our piece about the SS Morro Castle (11/19/16) , we pointed out that the burned out hulk of the ocean liner remained only 200 feet out into the water of Asbury Park and it became a tourist attraction there. This photograph shows some of those folks on the beach with the M.C. behind them. Today they could have taken their own photo with a selfie stick.
Thanks to Carol Livingstone of Ocean Grove. 11/21/16

My father mentioned to me that he and his parents made the trip from Trenton to see the Morro Castle. Asbury Park was a popular destination for Trentonians for many years. The Historical Society of Ocean Grove preserves an oar from one of the lifeboats.
