This effort was responsible for a drop of 87.5% in the number of shipwreck deaths in the area. Today the station still stands as a beautifully restored museum that holds a number of fascinating artifacts and memorabilia from the life-saving station era, and a significant part of American marine history. The item is as new, in the original box, with certificate. Figurine of man with flag is included. Sold initially for $79.95. (F). $59.95
