U.S. Life-Saving Service Stations in Carteret County

December 11 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Education Curator Benjamin Wunderly will give an overview of the history of the United States Life-Saving Service stations that existed in Carteret County, North Carolina. The Life-Saving Service had been operating in North Carolina for 14 years and already had 23 other stations along the coast before the first one was built in Carteret County in 1888. By 1905, there would be four more stations added, covering the southern Outer Banks from Portsmouth at Ocracoke Inlet to Bogue Inlet and what is now Emerald Isle.

Admission is free, and registration is not required.

Registration and Refund Policy:

Registration costs, less a 10% fee, are refunded when the museum receives cancellation notice at least 48 hours before the start of a program. There is no refund within 48 hours of the start of a program, and tickets cannot be transferred to a later program date within that 48 hour timeframe. Due to material costs and supply, Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center Courses require a 2-week notification for cancellations; only the course fee is refunded if cancellation occurs prior to 2 weeks. The Museum reserves the right to cancel any program that does not meet the minimum participant requirement up to one week before the program is scheduled. In the event of cancellation due to low enrollment, participants who have submitted a fee will receive a full refund. If a program is canceled due to inclement weather and unable to be rescheduled for another date, the participants will receive a full refund.
