FAVORITE DELAWARE COAST PLACES SAGA:

INDIAN RIVER LIFE SAVING STATION
Rehoboth Beach

This is a remarkable group of 19th Century buildings.

Before the Coast Guard existed, these life saving stations were at regular intervals along the coast to save people from ship wrecks.

Men would stay for weeks at a time occupying the barracks.

Special equipment was invented to help the rescues.
