Ship Ahoy !

The "Wreck of the Sarnac"

The Sarnac was docked at Steeplechase pier

to greet the steamboat landing as part of the tourist attraction

If you couldn't get to Coney by train or boat..

try AirShip !

This postcard image dated 1906 was a futuristic dream

 of AirShip travel and demonstrated potential use

of the tower as a dock.

Or... was it just a hoax ?

Beautiful beach front hotel & easy access.

The Half Moon Hotel
