Lyman Street is Gone

I find this video amazing.  Mantoloking is a small town in NJ that is a narrow strip of land between the Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.  I spent a few summers down there.  One of the historical bits I found fascinating is that somebody once tried to cut a channel between the Ocean and the Bay there, it's so narrow.  Well sand filled it up and eventually it took the Army Corp of Engineers to build the Point Pleasant Canal which, anybody who has gone out of it in a boat, knows the kind of force the water exerts.  Riding a 20' power boat through there can be exhilarating.
