Station Site Notes:

1900 old station at Davis Neck, which was not suitable for further use, on account of dilapidation and inadequacy to the present needs of the Service, replaced by a new structure [Straitsmouth LSS] (USLSS Annual Reports). Crew moved to new station from Davis Neck LSS; station listed as active until July 1964(?) [1964]; Turned over to GSA in 1964 (USCG Historian's Website).
