1741. (photo) Canadian Life-Saving Station With Crew, Long Point, Ontario, Lake Erie c.1910. Great image shows a close, clear view of the keeper and his 7-man crew posing outside with their surfboat on the boatramp in front of the station. Long Point is a narrow peninsula nearly disconnected from the mainland at its west end, from which it extends eastward about 18 miles. The life-saving station was located on the lake shore at the point 6,000 feet westerly from Long Point light. Very little is written about the Canadian stations and photos such as this are sought after. Excellent details of the station and boat. Great early detail, on postcard paper, with message and postmark on back. Postmarked not readable. Measures 3 ½” x 7”. Only very light wear, clear and close. (VG+). $94.
