"Curious Accident.--The Sydney Herald, of December 31st, gives the following account of a curious accident to ship Kit Carson of Dennis:== "The The value of the groeing establishments of the port of Sydney has not yet been so significantly illustrated as in the case of the America ship Kit Carson, which on Friday last was received in the Waterview Dry Dock for examination and repairs. It appears that on leaving San Francisco for Sydney heavily laden with flour, the night being extremely dark, and a thick black fog adding to the pilot's difficulty away from the land, he mistook his course and a sudden but slight concussion with a rockm which did not however for a moment impede the progress of the vessel, warned him that he was nearly on the shore. So trifling had been the shock, that Captain Crowell had no idea that any more serious injury than a graze of the sheathing had been sustained, and the Kit Carson pursued her voyage in safety. On examining her bottom however, on Friday last at Waterview, it was found that a solid piece of ironstone, about eighteen inches in diameter, had been forced by the concussion into the bilge at the port side, where it, providentially, remained firmly wedged. Had it, by any means, been worked out, we scarcely need observe that the ship must have foundered immediately. The damage otherwise done will require the substitution of sevety-toe feet of false keel, and a new forefoot; in addition to three streaks [sic]. each sicty feet long, on the port side, where the ship struck the rock."

The Borough of Harvey Cedars is on Long Beach Island, Ocean County, New Jersey
from "The History of Harvey Cedars," by Margaret Thomas Buchholz
http://www.harveycedars.org/HChistory.html
The Borough of Harvey Cedars was formally incorporated on December 11, 1894, when a group of men living near the hotel seceded from Union Township (today's Barnegat Township on the mainland). Capt. Isaac Jennings, owner of the hotel, was named mayor. He died shortly thereafter. Jason Fenimore, who lived on the bayfront at Burlington Avenue, soon became borough clerk and his brother Francis became mayor in 1899.
Early Industry: Seaweed and Fish
Aggressive development with an eye to summer visitors and profits started in 1884, when Josiah Busby Kinsey (son of John Warner) and Isaac Lee each bought tracts in what was called High Point (87th Street to Sussex Avenue). Kinsey owned the land to about 78th Street and centered his development around his general store on the northeast corner of 78th and the Boulevard, and a yacht club on the bayfront at 78th -- both still standing. He used his large expanse of bayfront property along Bay Terrace as a field for drying eelgrass. This seaweed was used for insulation, packing and mattresses, and was a well-developed industry in many coastal areas during the early part of the century. Kinsey's name remains in Kinsey Cove.
Lee operated another booming business at his end of town: pound fishing. Lee had operated a fish restaurant near New York's Fulton Fish Market, then became a wholesaler in Philadelphia. By 1900 he had two fish pounds in operation off High Point, two and four miles offshore. He employed 32 husky, strong men and housed them on a seasonal basis in a row of tiny cottages on 76th Street. The men topped 6 feet, 200 pounds, necessary to power the boats through the surf and haul the heavy nets, but the cottages were so small they got the nickname "petrel's nests". The two remaining "petrel's nests" were joined into one, which hugs the Boulevard just across from the Borough Hall. Lee paid $25,000 for the land and in 1887 built his home, still standing on the north side of what is now Lee Avenue. Two of the cottages he built to rent for $50 a season also survive on Lee Avenue.
The train was the key to this development: Kinsey shipped tightly-packed bales of eelgrass and Lee barrels of weakfish, croakers, butterfish, flounder and bass to metropolitan markets. And the train brought the first tourists. Ed Merchant, still living in town, remembers, "We quivered in anticipation of that magic aroma that meant seashore: salt breeze, new-cut marsh hay, sun-dried eelgrass and overripe clam shells left too long in the sun. Not to everybody's taste, but for us it was the perfume of summer." In 1886, the first train into town was a one-car combination engine, passenger and freight owned by the Lee and Fenimore Train Co., painted various shades of yellow and dubbed the Yellow Jacket. By 1906 a longer summer passenger train was brought in but the schedule was erratic at best, and not a very rapid transit. Carlyle Stevens told the story, "We were coming along between Surf City and Harvey Cedars and there were no stops. My buddy and I were playing football in the empty baggage car and the ball got tossed off the train so he jumped off, picked up the ball and hopped back in. He could run faster than the train". The small, cedar shake-covered High Point station was located about where the borough hall is today. It was moved and is now the second floor of a house on Mallard Lane. The Harvey Cedars station, little more than a covered platform, was near Atlantic Avenue.
Steady Growth in The Twenties and Thirties
As Lee and Kinsey sold off lots, and houses were built, both men dedicated several streets to the borough and in 1916, with 20 men registered to vote, Kinsey was elected mayor. Meetings were moved from the hotel to his general store. The center of activity shifted from Harvey Cedars to High Point. The separate names were commonly used well beyond when the U.S. Post Office requested the town drop "High Point" in the early 1930s, and remains in the name of the fire company.
About three dozen cottages had been built from Kinsey Cove to Lee Avenue and the town was a small, friendly place where everyone knew everyone else.
