6264c. Stackpole, Edouard A., LIFE SAVING NANTUCKET . Nantucket . 1972. 295pp. Hard cover, DJ. Original first edition. Stackpole was among the earliest to recognize that an era had passed, and without documentation would soon be forgotten. Life Saving Nantucket documents the triumphs and tragedies of a hardy breed of islanders who, as volunteers, manned the early Massachusetts Humane Society sites, later the U.S. Life-Saving Service stations, and still later the U.S. Coast Guard stations, saving countless lives and precious cargo. His is the most complete, definitive history of the life-saving services in this area, surrounded by shoals and known for its toll on shipping. Includes also the lighthouses and many light vessels that guarded against the treacherous shoals in the area. Well illustrated with photos. Certainly one of the best and most interesting and complete sources on the subject. As new but light sunning to dj. (F) $48.95.
As new with new redesigned dust jacket out of stock. Please inquire for availability and price.
