Tour of the Amagansett Life-Saving & Coast Guard Station.
Join the Bridgehampton Museum, Water Mill Museum, Sag Harbor Whaling Museum and SOFO for a collaborative tour of the Amagansett Life-Saving & Coast Guard Station. This experience highlights the intersection of cutting-edge (for 1902!) engineering and the delicate science of our coastal ecosystem.
Engineering for Survival: Step inside the station to see the Quonochontaug-style architecture — from the inside it is easy to see how it is specifically designed for rapid response climb the tower ladder with us.
The Physics of the Surf : Explore the design of the Beebe surfboat, that allowed “surfmen” to launch into massive Atlantic breaks that would swamp a normal vessel.
A Co-sponsored Community event with the Amagansett Life-Saving & Coast Guard Station, SOFO, Sag Harbor Whaling Museum, Bridgehampton Museum, and Water Mill Museum
Tour Leader: Amagansett Life-Saving Station Trustee and Educator Stacy Myers
