Chicamacomico Life Saving Station
1874-1954
Who might have used this type of boat and for what reason?
How did a 1,000 lb. boat of this nature get from it's storage shed to the ocean to conduct the Mirlo rescue in 1918?
What kind of physical condition did the seafaring crew need to be in to make rescues in high seas?
What might they have done to train for such rescues during this time period?
What can you infer from this photo about boat technology of the time period?
What does the photo tell us about the life and times of the people who made it and used it in their occupation?
Why has the boat survived for almost 100 years?
