Aug 11: The Life-Saving Services at Nauset

Sunday, August 11, 2024 10:00 AM

Join us as Marca Daley discusses Eastham’s Life-Saving Services on the oceanside: from the earliest Half-Way Houses of the Massachusetts Humane Society, to the first Three Sisters lighthouses, the creation of the US Life-Saving Service, the arrival of the French Cable Station, and the transitions to the new Nauset Light and Coast Guard Station. All are welcome.

Marca Daley was born & raised in Eastham. After university, she traveled abroad and settled in Greece where she worked at the American Community Schools of Athens for the next 40 years. In 2013 she returned to Eastham, and today is Archivist and Museum Curator for the Eastham Historical Society.
