Join Education Curator Benjamin Wunderly at the North Carolina Maritime Museum as he covers the history of the United States Lifesaving Service in North Carolina. The small crews of this service, the predecessor to the United States Coast Guard, rescued hundreds of sailors in a time when most people traveled by water. Come learn about the various stations along our coast and how the surfmen carried out their duties.

Free admission, no advance registration required.
