Support America's Storm Warriors
The U.S. Life-Saving Service Heritage Association (USLSSHA) is an organization dedicated to preserving the history of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and early U.S. Coast Guard.
Few other groups of historic American buildings are more endangered than our life-saving and lifeboat stations. To a far greater extent even than lighthouses, life-saving stations are still being lost and falling into tragic disrepair.
The USLSSHA is dedicated to providing communication among preservation-minded individuals and organizations regarding saving stations and preserving artifacts.
Save Endangered Stations
Some of these national treasures are endangered by humans and nature. Development and land reuse are pressuring local governments to tear down stations. Beach erosion, hurricanes and severe storms also threatens many stations.
