The
U.S. Life-Saving Service Heritage Association
was founded at the Cape Cod National Seashore in 1995 by maritime historians,
authors, museum directors, National Park Service professionals and caring people.
Its goal is to preserve the stations, history, boats, and equipment of the US
Life-Saving Service and US Coast Guard.
While many groups are
striving to save lighthouses and ships, we are the only national organization
dedicated to preserving America’s fast-vanishing lifesaving stations and
early Coast Guard lifeboat stations. 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. | | | | |

| We
provide communication among many preservation-minded individuals and organizations.
Members will receive an information-packed quarterly magazine, Wreck
& Rescue. They will also receive a quarterly newsletter, Life
Lines, to update its readers on matters between issues of the quarterly
journal. Through this information flow, readers of these publications can keep
abreast of preservation developments concerning a number of ‘at risk’
station sites. Major articles are published that educate the membership about
the heroic events of yesteryear’s Keepers and Surfmen, as well as today’s
U. S. Coast Guard.
