Shipping and the Boynton Harbor Marina
Location

As well as shipping, the Intracoastal Waterway and the growth of the town also supported other maritime businesses such as boat builders,1 commercial fishing fleets, and charter boats. By 1910, reports indicated that the fishing was good all seasons of the year and that fish could be caught from the ocean, the salt water Lake Worth, and from fresh water lakes west of town2.
Just north of the Ocean Avenue Bridge is the marina where fishermen docked commercial and charter boats. Two of the most notable fishermen were Walter Voss and Captain Walter "Pop" Lyman.
