The U.S. Life-Saving Service, and its successor, the U.S. Coast Guard contributed greatly in establishing Florida's Shoreline Frontier. This book covers all of Florida's coasts with true-life heroic rescue tales of shipwreck survivors, homicide on the high seas, hurricanes, primitive living conditions, long periods of isolation broken by moments of sheer terror. But there were good times also and a few chuckles to relieve the tension. This book at times is quirky and whimsical but never boring. Buckle up and go down to the sea with iron men in wooden lifeboats.Â
