Description
The Indian River Life Saving Station Museum at Delaware Seashore State Park seems to glow in the setting sun and the remembrance of protecting mariners for over 150 years.
The station was built in 1876 for use by the United States Lifesaving Service to respond to an alarming number of shipwrecks along the mid-Atlantic coast. This building was originally located 400 feet closer to the shore, but a sand dune began to form around it almost as soon as it was finished. It was moved to its present location in 1877. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
This piece of coastal history is located south of Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach, Delaware and just north of the Indian River Inlet Bridge. Where in your home of office would you display this photograph of a piece of Delaware history?
