21471. Stonehouse, ,Frederick. WRECK ASHORE – The United States Life-Saving Service On The Great Lakes. Duluth. 1994. 213p. Soft wraps. From the mid-1780’s until it became the Coast Guard in 1915, the U.S. Life-Saving Service was responsible for the safety of the seas. Despite personal danger or difficulty, the life-savers invariably accomplished the task and became the stuff of legends. For this first time, this wonderful book details the exploits of these intrepid life-savers on the Great Lakes. Just filled with information and hundreds of vintage photographs, Mr. Stonehouse explains all facets of the organization, the stations, the keepers and men, the equipment that they used as well as numerous rescues performed. Excellent reading with a wealth of information and a must for maritime collectors. (M). Published at $29.95. Our price $27.95.
