lifesaving station
Coastal rescue base
A lifesaving station is a coastal facility equipped and staffed to rescue people from shipwrecks and drowning.
Historically, these stations housed rescue boats, lifesaving equipment, and crews who monitored dangerous waters: The lifesaving station launched its surfboat into the storm.
Many have been replaced by modern coast guard operations, though some survive as museums or historic sites.
