CEHPS Presents: Stories from the Life Saving Service

Tuesday, November 12 -- 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Cape Eliabeth's Life Saving Station, a building with a group of men in uniform on the steps.In December of 1887, the US government established the Two Lights Life-Saving Station at Dyer Cove. Initially staffed by a team of about 6 surfmen–usually local farmers and fishermen–the Life-Saving Station patrolled the coast especially during treacherous weather for ships. The history of the station is filled with stories of courage and humor alike.

Join us to find out about this remarkable service, which was transferred to South Portland by the U. S. Coast Guard in 1964 and served as the forerunner to today’s Cape Elizabeth WETeam life-saving service.

All are welcome!
Light refreshments will be provided.
