History – Milestones of
the U.S. Life-Saving Service
Coast Guard history has been shaped in no small
part by the nation’s response to natural and
man-made disasters. Nowhere is that lesson
clearer than in the evolution of the service’s
search and rescue mission. Interestingly, many
milestones in the history of the U.S.
Life-Saving Service took place in the month of
December. This was due in part to the heavy
loss of life resulting from severe weather
experienced during the autumn and early winter.
