The exciting history of shipwrecks and rescues which occurred on the Del-Mar-Va coastline is on display at the Life-Saving Station Museum. During the forty year (1875-1915) history of the United States Life-Saving Service, four thousand five hundred (4,500) lives were saved from the "perils of the sea", here, on the Eastern Shore of Delaware, Maryland and the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Over 100,000 lives were saved throughout the United States. Quite an impressive figure!
