Pier of Island Beach (Burlington Island) opposite Bristol. Note the roller coaster in the background (right) and the abundance of canoes on the left. Steamboats from Philadelphia and Trenton regularly stopped at the amusement park and ferry boat service from Bristol and Burlington were available. The park was very popular in the first two decades of the twentieth century. A second fire in 1934 destroyed the park.
