Publisher's Synopsis
Monomoy Station was one of the original nine LLS (life-saving) stations built on the shores of Cape Cod when the Life-Saving Service was extended to these shores in 1873. There is no more dangerous stretch of coast on Cape Cod than off Monomoy Island. Disaster follows disaster and the work of the life savers is attended with the greatest peril at all times. This book "Lifeboats Of Cape Cod - The Monomoy Disaster" delves into the details of history to uncover the reasons why almost the entire crew of the Monomoy Life-Saving surfmen were lost on March 17, 1902. Read about the "man of mystery" who heroically and singlehandedly saved the one survivor of the Monomoy Disaster in the Graveyard Of the Atlantic.
