12455b. [photo] Merrimack River Coast Guard Station, Plum Island, Newburyport, Massachusetts c.1969. Official Coast Guard photo provides four good views of the closed 1930’s station building and later lookout tower as the seas began to encroach on the building foundation. The original station, first called Plum Island (later Newburyport) was built c.1873-1877. At some point during the Coast Guard years it was renamed as Station Merrimac. The station’s buildings were rebuilt a number of times and its location shifted due to beach erosion when a new station was built in the late 1960s. Photo is clear and crisp, dated December 29, 1969.
