Abstract:

In a public ceremony in October 2011, a replica of the Pea Island Lifesaving Station was unveiled as part of the ongoing Collins Park project. Along with the boathouse, artifacts and a replica lifesaving surfboat are now on display in Manteo to bring attention to the history of the area and the only African-America Lifesaving Station in the United States.
