[edit] The sources indicate this was a big lifesaving service station
I think the article needs something about that. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 21:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Stan
- I agree. I meant to add something on it earlier, but forgot about it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- I added a paragraph about the life-saving station, and the lighthouse's subsequent role as a Coast Guard training station. How does it look? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:33, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Good links. I can use this (or a variant) on some other life saving stations around the state. If one were to criticize, it would be that it is somewhat generic: I would suppose that what is missing is specifics about the activities and rescues here. But to do that, one would probably actually have to get into the book. Nice job. Thanks. 23:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC) Stan
