Supplemental Information: These photographs were taken after the infamous Ash Wednesday northeaster of March, 1962, which caused extensive beach erosion and property damage along the Atlantic Seaboard. These digital files have not been orthorectified or projected. Some frames are missing, and coverage of the New Jersey shoreline is not complete. Digital files are labeled with a three-digit number which starts at Cape May in the south and increases northward. A second four-digit number corresponds to the Coast and Geodetic Survey frame number, which is printed on each photograph. Because some frames are missing, the three-digit counter has gaps in the numbering in case the missing photographs can be recovered in the future. The flights inland from the ocean coast, around Brigantine Inlet, Great Bay, and Little Bay, have been labeled with a counter "Bayxx". Photograph altitude approx 2,700 m, scale not listed.
