We love how this painting literally tells its tale from inside a book cover! The unique perspective tells the story of the Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station on Hatteras Island. Still standing today, the original 1874 building housed the crew and their gear. Predating the Coast Guard, they saved over 177,286 souls!

This building deserves some reverence.”
