The story of the heroes of the U.S. Life-Saving Service of the Great Lakes

From stormy shipwrecks to catastrophic disasters, the heroic lifesavers were always there, risking their lives to save others. From the mid-1780s until it transformed into the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915, the U.S. Life-Saving Service was responsible for safety on the inland seas.
