02/13/11 Convention Hall

Posted: February 14, 2011 in Uncategorized

I just can’t get enough of Asbury Park. Everywhere you go, it’s the early 1900’s. Convention Hall was built in 1930. In 1934, the luxury liner Morro Castle ran aground adjacent to the Convention Hall. The ship was carrying wealthy passengers from Havava to New York. There are many old photos of the disaster just off the boardwalk in Asbury Park.
