I was on a Coney Island blog which naturally took me on the amusement parks where I learned in depth about Sealion Park and Paul Boyton.
Eventually learned about his fascinating and amazing life, which was detailed with all his exploits, except that, after he sold Sealion appx , his life seems to be a mystery. This seems impossible, especially since all his exploits were picked up in the papers prior to Have searched many sites and have found very little between and , his death.
I know he passed on from SB. Could that be where he had his residence? What were the circumstances surrounding his death and how did he pass his life from from the SB area? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Val cooper August 26, - pm I too grew up in the best of times of the bay. Anonymous May 14, - pm yes val i agree me too. Cole September 12, - pm Hi Sheepshead Bay residents! Sheepshead Bay is a bay separating the mainland of Brooklyn, New York City from the eastern portion of Coney Island, the latter originally a barrier island but now effectively an extension of the mainland with peninsulas both east the neighborhood of Manhattan Beach and west the neighborhood of Sea Gate.
Its mouth is about a mile 1. The area is part of Brooklyn Community Board The bay itself was originally the easterly entrance to Coney Island Creek but filling of the central part of this waterway during the s in conjunction with construction of the Shore Parkway portion of the Belt Parkway eliminated access to the creek. At the same time the bay was widened at its western end, deepened and bulkheaded. Inside its mouth, a system of sharp front teeth and larger, rear grinding teeth allow sheepshead to crush oyster and clam shells, which are part of its omnivorous diet.
No one seems to know where it got the name sheepshead. Waldman, whose book, Heartbeats in the Muck, traces the history of the New York Harbor, said historical documents indicate that sheepshead were incredibly common in Sheepshead Bay in the early nineteenth century. So plentiful were the fish, farmers surrounding the bay supplemented their incomes by becoming commercial sheepshead fishermen while waiting to harvest their crops. But somewhere around the late s, the sheepshead started to disappear.
Marine biology experts note the disappearance of oyster reefs — either smothered by sewage dumped in the harbor or wiped out by overfishing — around the same time, a connection that is more than coincidental.
