"Ocean City Lifesaving Station Museum" Top 5 Page for this destination Maryland Favorite Tip by tpangelinan

Favorite thing: Go to the end of the boardwalk and the inlet, that is where this lifesaving station is localed. These type of lifesaving station use to line the beach front up and down the coastline. Volunteers would keep an eye out for shipwrecks and would risk life and limb to save the crew and its cargo in the 1800th to the 1900th century. The coast Guard took over and started to maintiain them.In 1915 the U. S. Life-Saving Service joined the Revenue Cutter Service to form the U. S. Coast Guard. They used these building until about 1962.
