Peaked Hill Bar Life-Saving Station, Provincetown c.1890

Peaked Hill Bar Life-Saving Station, Provincetown, Mass. c.1890 by J.L. Rosenthal, Provincetown , Mass. Large 4 ½” x 7” cabinet view provides an unprecedented close view of the 1872 Expanded Red-House-Type station. The Peaked Hill Bars Life-Saving station guarded the coastline where two sinister offshore bars wait to tear the bottom from unsuspecting vessels as they pass. Many ships have navigated the treacherous Race Point, only to wreck upon the shifting Peaked Hill Bars. Because of the numerous wrecks here, the government erected a Life-Saving station here in 1872 and manned it with a keeper and seven surfmen. Superb view of the station and out-buildings. Note the surfboat on the boat ramp, and the horse and buggy tied up to the shed. Beautiful clear close view with great detail, clean, no defects, as nice as they come. (#15265) (VG+).
