"
Oceans are more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time." --H. P. Lovecraft
The remains of the 59th Street Pier in Ocean City New Jersey extend out into the Atlantic Ocean. The pier has been slowly deteriorating since it was damaged in the early 1990s by a storm. Much of the other end of the pier remains in place but the end connecting the pier to the land is mostly gone now. There are two old postcards from 1949 that show what the pier looked like when it was still in one piece here:
