OC Tidal Trivia
🌊 The Birth of Ocean City's Inlet 🏖️
It's August 23, 1933. Assateague and Ocean City are snoozing away, connected like two peas in a pod. Then Mother Nature throws a wild hurricane party! 🌪️
A powerful hurricane carved a path between S. 4th and S. 5th streets, creating a narrow 50-foot wide channel. 💨 Over the following week, this gap widened and deepened. 📏
Ocean City quickly recognized the potential of this natural gift. 💡 Local leaders sprang into action:
Congressman Goldsborough and Senator Tydings presented the case to federal authorities 🏛️
Just three weeks later, President Roosevelt signed off on the project ✍️
The Army Corps of Engineers took charge, planning:
Retaining walls 🧱
1,800-foot stone jetties extending into the ocean 🌊
This 1934 photo captures the north jetty's construction, marking the beginning of a new era. 📸
The Inlet has since become one of Ocean City's greatest assets, reshaping its future. 🌟
