Common travel in the latter half of the 1800s was horse & wagon (To the left of the depot) to a train or to a ferry to cross rivers. Or some combination thereof. Often there were so few going hither and yon there was no waiting to get on a train or ferry or using horse and wagon.

This late 1800s photograph is of the second Florida East Coast Railroad station built in Boynton Beach.

This photo is from ‘Speedway to Sunshine’ by Seth Bramson.

Swampy’s Florida Postcard Monday: A Bit of Venice at Fort Lauderdale, 1950s.

This image seems to picked up a bit of a stormy day. Added a lot to image.
The card doesn’t indicate where this was, but it’s unlikely this area looks like this today.

This picture is part of a fold out postcard set that wasn’t mailed. Likely from the 1950s.

This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
