Photographs often hold mysteries and memories of our past. Page by page the reader will see the transformation of when the town of Gravesend, Brooklyn was one of the six original towns to later become part of the great City of Brooklyn. Originally an isolated English-speaking community amidst many other Dutch areas in the region, Gravesend developed into a thriving seaside resort, with Coney Island becoming the "playground of the world," and Sheepshead Bay an important fishing community with fabulous places to dine and enjoy the fruits of the sea.
