SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Forgotten Heroes\, The U.S. Life-Saving Service on the Great Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Our Lecture Series is back this September with renowned Great Lakes historian and author Fred Stonehouse. Stonehouse will be presenting\, “Forgotten Heroes\, The U.S. Life-Saving Service on the Great Lakes” starting at 6:30 PM Wednesday\, September 25th. From 1874 until 1915\, when it became the U.S. Coast Guard\, the men of this remarkable organization displayed incredible courage and bravery in rescuing over 55\,000 people from potential death on the Great Lakes. Despite personal danger or difficulty\, the life-savers invariably accomplished the rescue. This is their story of courage in the face of nearly insurmountable odds. Their unofficial motto was\, “Regulations say we have to go out\, they say nothing about coming back.”\n\nFrederick Stonehouse has authored over thirty books on maritime history\, many of them focusing on the Great Lakes. Wreck Ashore\, the U.S. Life-Saving Service on the Great Lakes\, won a national publishing award and is the predominant work on the subject. Stonehouse teaches maritime history at Northern Michigan University and is an active consultant for numerous maritime oriented projects and programs. He currently resides in Marquette\, MI.\n\nLectures are $10 per person and FREE to Museum members. Tickets can be purchased in advance here.\n\nLectures are proudly sponsored by the Nielsen-Wells Grant Fund & Mike and Susan Smith.
