The US Life Saving Service Heritage Association (USLSSHA) is an organization dedicated to preserving the history of the US Life Saving Service and early US Coast Guard.
No other group of historic American buildings is more endangered than our lifesaving and lifeboat stations. To a far greater extent even than lighthouses, lifesaving stations are still being lost and falling into tragic disrepair.
The USLSSHA is dedicated to providing communication among many preservation-minded individuals and organizations regarding such things as saving stations and preserving artifacts.
Check out our information-packed quarterly magazine called Wreck & Rescue, detailing the many accounts of desperate shipwrecks and saving lives and preservation updates among many other things. Members receive this intriguing magazine quarterly. We also publish a quarterly newsletter called Life Lines, to update our members on matters between issues of the quarterly magazine.
We encourage you to join the organization today, get involved, and help save our history.
The association is a national nonprofit (501c3) organization dedicated to preserving America's fast-vanishing lifesaving stations and early Coast Guard lifeboat stations.
