The United States Life-Saving Service in Delaware
Join us at South Coastal Library for an informative and interesting lecture on the history of the United States Life-Saving Station Service in Delaware. Before the Coast Guard, the brave men of the United States Life-Saving Service battled winds and waves to rescue sailors in distress. Six life-saving stations existed in Delaware and responded to hundreds of wrecks along the coast. Join Delaware Seashore State Park Interpretive Programs Manager Tyler Dreiblatt to discover how they started, how they operated, and what became of them, while also hearing some shipwreck stories!
