Ocean City Beach Patrol is the story of the elite group of men and women who serve as guards along the sandy beaches and gently rolling surf of Ocean City, an eight-mile-long barrier island off the coast of southern New Jersey. Although the coastline slopes gradually into the sea and the water is generally calm, deadly rip currents and strong undertows can occur at any time. Thus, the lifeguards often risk their lives to protect the thousands of bathers enjoying these waters each summer.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol has been saving lives along Maryland's Atlantic coast since 1930. The job remains that of "an athlete with a buoy," and the reality of the responsibility dispels any stereotype of a cushy summer job filled by a teenager merely sitting in the sun all day. Aided by semaphore flags and a crate of sunscreen, the beach patrol's lifeguards have reunited countless lost children with parents; they are charged to enforce the town's beach ordinances; and sometimes at personal risk, they navigate rip currents and heavy surf to rescue distressed swimmers and bring them ashore to safety. This brief history examines the innovations, training, competitions, organizational structure, and character building that are all part of the serious life saving work of Maryland's Ocean City Beach Patrol - young men and women whose inestimable contributions over the years have given rise to the patrol's international reputation in lifesaving circles.

Savings Lives is the first published comprehensive history of the Ocean City Beach Patrol (OCBP), an organization of highly trained ocean lifeguards whose enviable record of safety is renowned. Established in 1930 to protect recreational swimmers in the open waters in front of the Coast Guard Station in Ocean City, Maryland, OCBP today guards some nine miles of shoreline. Each summer, in calm seas, or during days of turbulent surf, high waves, and strong rip currents, the "surf rescue technicians" make 2,500-4,500 ocean rescues, with individual lifeguards often executing multiple "saves" in a single day. Illustrated with over 250 photographs, the narrative chronicles ninety years of development from a cadre of seven men in 1930 to an organization of over 200 men and women today who are among the best trained and most efficient "athletes with a buoy" in the world. Major attention is given to the leadership and life saving activities of OCBP's three principal captains: Robert S. Craig (OCBP 1935-1987), George A. Schoepf (OCBP 1950-1997), and Butch Arbin (OCBP 1973-present). The author, a member of the beach patrol from 1960-65 and Captain Craig's son, is a professional historian and author of eight other books, including Hellgate's Red Rivers in a Yellow Field: Memoirs of the Vietnam Era (2018).

Ocean City, New Jersey, was founded as a "Christian seaside resort" in 1879. Soon thereafter, it became a vibrant year-round community and a highly desirable summer retreat. Hotels were integral to the city's success. The most famous of these was the Flanders Hotel, which opened to much fanfare in 1923. It was built in the Spanish Mission Revival style and named after Belgium's Flanders Field; today, it is in the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to other stately hotels, such as the Brighton, the Biscayne, and the Bellevue, many smaller hotels and guesthouses, like Jernee Manor, the Castle Inn, Locksley Hall, and the Scarborough Inn, were also established. Ocean City's Historic Hotels features the rich architectural and recreational history of this New Jersey coastal town and its many hotels.

Ocean City has been called America's Greatest Family Resort since the slogan was adopted by the chamber of commerce in 1920. But it has always been a gathering place for families, beginning in 1879 when the Lake family came here to build a Christian Seaside Resort. Since those early years, Ocean City has evolved into a community of diverse people, with the value of family still holding strong. While famous people, such as actress Grace Kelly and author Gay Talese, called Ocean City home, most of the people in this book are ordinary citizens. Many of these families are third and fourth generation. Some trace their roots back to the Lakes, others have grandparents or great-grandparents who came here as immigrants. Still others have moved here more recently; all contribute to making Ocean City a wonderful place to live and work.

Ocean City, which calls itself “America’s Greatest Family Resort,” is today best known for its wide, clean beaches and a yearly bayfront celebration called the “Night in Venice.” Founded in 1879 as a Christian seaside resort, the island community still maintains some of its early traditions including prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages—while striving to continue its long-standing reputation as a family-oriented resort. This remarkable new photographic history features such historic sites as the home of the town’s first resident and famous old-time restaurants like Chris’, Hogate’s, and Watson’s. Several rare pictures of the shipwrecked Sindia and its cargo are also included, as well as photographs of Ocean City’s most well-known citizens, Princess Grace Kelly and author Gay Talese.

The Ocean City Baby Parade is the longest continuously held baby parade in the nation, tracing back to August 10, 1901, when the citys first baby show was held. From its beginning with 46 babies in the prettiest, cutest, and fattest baby categories, it has grown into a boardwalk extravaganza with 300 entrants, bands and bugle corps, professionally decorated commercial floats, homemade baby floats, grand marshals, and cartoon characters. Many families plan their vacations around this well-known event, and they are among the thousands of spectators lining the boardwalk each year.
