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 twenty-three 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. The program is part of our Maritime Heritage Series, informal lectures held in the museum auditorium and focused on North Carolina’s rich maritime history, coastal environment, and culture. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
