Abstract:
The United States Lifesaving Service, the forerunner of the U.S. Coast Guard, built twenty-nine lifesaving stations along North Carolina's coastline in the early 1870s. Some of these historic buildings have been restored as a museum in Rodanthe, a restaurant in Kitty Hawk, and a real estate office in Corolla.
