EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the U.S. Life Saving Station in Macatawa Park, Michigan, between 1890 and 1901. The image showcases the lifeguards and crew members who worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of those using the Lake Michigan waters during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The station, located in Ottawa County, Michigan, United States of America, was a vital part of the community and played a crucial role in the transportation of people and goods. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, depicts the exterior of the boathouse, which housed the various boats used for rescue operations. The lifeguards, dressed in their uniforms, are seen gathered around the station, ready for duty. Among them are recognizable figures such as Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone. The U.S. Life Saving Service, which operated the station, was established in 1878 to reduce the number of lives lost to shipwrecks and other maritime disasters. The service was later absorbed into the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915. The men in this photograph represent the dedication and bravery of those who served in this important organization. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when the role of the lifeguard was a vital and heroic profession. It serves as a reminder of the importance of water safety and the sacrifices made by those who risked their lives to save others.
