A more appealing story is told in the Door County Advocate of April 26, 1862. The story indicates that a number of Mackinac boats left Green Bay to deliver furs to the trading post on Mackinac Island. The boats stopped at the yet unnamed harbor to rest for the night. While rowing ashore, there was a race to see who would reach the shore first. The village is named after a legendary egg battle that took place in our harbor. A witness was Mrs. Elizabeth Baird, who recorded that fateful day of June 23, 1825, in her journal.

Traditions grew quickly. The Pumpkin Patch celebration first began in October 1984. Blossoms throughout the area have made it a delight to visit in the spring and the first Blossom Festival was held in 1993. In winter, the village displays holiday decorations and has now developed Holly Days. Other festivals housed in Egg Harbor include, Girlfriends Great EGGscape in May, Independence Day Celebration in July, The Door County Sports & Classic Car Show in August, and Egg Harbor AleFest in the middle of September.

The natural inlets of the South Jersey coast, where currents scoured the channels and ocean waves crashed through unchecked, proved to be an ideal testing ground for those early models. Mr. Post made it a point to personally run each boat in order to assure its seaworthiness in all sea conditions. more

Charley, “C.P.” Leek got a start and became a seasoned veteran as a member of the Life Saving Service which lore has it gave him the left eye injury requiring a patch to cover it. Along with his great-uncle, Charley started a yard on the bay in Atlantic City building pleasure boats around the turn of the century. They worked into building passenger carrying sailboats like the “Captain Starns” and many others for the fleet at Beach Haven. more

Carl Adams got his start with the VanSant Boat yard in Atlantic City at 16 years of age. He built his first shop at around 19 years old in 1905 building garveys and sneakboxes for local baymen. In short order he outgrew that shop and built a larger one in 1917. Once again he sold this shop and built yet another one in the city. In 1920 the Volstead Act was passed and prohibition lit up the boat building business in south Jersey. Adams built rum runners and law enforcement boats for the Coast Guard. here

The Great Depression and the repeal of Prohibition on 1933 forced the closing of that shop. He opened a new shop in with his son Alvin in 1935 called the Modern Boat Works on the Nacote Creek in Port Republic where they built custom sportfishing boats for the charter captains. During WWII the Adams, father and son were sent to built airplane rescue boats for the government in Cambridge, Maryland. Returning to Nacote Creek after the war the Adams began making production 21, 24, 26 and 30-footers in the Jersey Skiff tradition. They also built many private boats including a 60-footer and charter boats for the famous Oyster Creek fleet, notably some 40-foot walk-arounds that fished well up into the late-90’s. Without question, Adams, known for a high standard of quality in every boat he built is a key figure in South Jersey boatbuilding history as many of the names who went on to build boats at one time or another worked with or for Adams. here

In 1977, Jack Leek opened up shop on the Mullica River with a group of former Pacemaker foreman who all leveraged homes or whatever to become partners. This humble beginning was the start of the powerhouse builder Ocean Yachts. With efficient new designs from naval architect David Martin of Brigantine, the company introduce a 40-footer that was the first true 30-knot production boat. Their second release was a 55-footer that was taken from a set of plans Don Leek had drawn by Martin as a 53-footer, that 55 topped out at 35-knots. From there the team at Ocean developed a full line of boats including 46 and 48-footers that once up and running in production they could turn out a boat every Friday. With designer interiors, maximum use of space layouts and unmatched efficiency and speed, the company flourished under the leadership of Jack and his son John E. III. However, much like the tides of the area, recessions come and go typically hitting the recreational boat business very hard and the company finally succumbed. here
