The deeds of the life-savers became the stuff of legends as was their motto: "Regulations say we have to go out, they don't say anything about coming back.".
Wreck Ashore, the United States Life-Saving Service on the Great Lakes, From the mid-1780s until the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915, the U.S. Life-Saving Service was responsible for the safety of the seas. Despite the personal danger or difficulty, the life-savers invariably accomplished the mission. The deeds of the life-savers became the stuff of legends as was their motto: "Regulations say we have to go out, they don't say anything about coming back.". From stormy shipwrecks to catastrophic disasters, the life-savers were always there, rescue on their minds. For the first time, this book details the Great Lakes exploits of this dedicated agency of the government, filling a void in the annals of our history.
