Guarding our beautiful coastlines has a storied history, and if you’re interested, The Plymouth Public Library invites you to a seafaring historical lecture by author Rebecca Locklear, on September 14th at 1:00 PM.  Shipwrecks and Search & Rescue: The U.S. Life-Saving Service (1878-1915), will detail the predecessor of today’s Coast Guard, and this presentation will include tales of heroic rescues made by the pioneering sailors who worked out of remote stations up and down the coast, historical photos, and colorful narratives her great-grandfather told of his experiences working for the U.S. Life-Saving Service. Rebecca Locklear is the author of “Exploring the U.S. Life-Saving Service 1878-1915” and “The Surfman’s Daughter.” She also writes educational materials and is a contributor to the Wreck & Rescue Journal.  Registration is required, so be sure to navigate to the library’s website and secure your seat!
