PRESERVING
OUR COAST GUARD HISTORY

Sitting majestically, solitarily, enticingly invitingly - but alone - as millions of travelers land upon the famous Hatteras Island, the visitor sees a beauitful but mysteriously abandoned building. It is, it was, the 1898 Oregon Inlet United States Life-Saving Service Station No. 16.

It needs to be saved, to be rescued and nurtured - just as it spent its life doing for others.
