INDIAN RIVER LIFE-SAVING STATION


last weekend's trip took us to the indian river life-saving station at the delaware seashore state park in rehoboth beach, del.it was built in 1876 by the us life saving services. the 'surfmen' lived here and served during the stormy months of sept. thru april. they rescued ships in distress. tour the building and see where the men slept, ate and stood watch. there are ropes which are intricately coiled ready to be projected out to the ship with a 'lyle' gun. very interesting to see how these brave men lived.
