Summer Sweepstakes
———
Two of these items in our collection might look like regular guns, but they are not. They were used to perform a vital role in the activities of the US Life-Saving Service (USLSS) stations that dotted the shores of Long Island.
———
The USLSS was created in 1878 and is the predecessor of the current day Coast Guard. Its brave members patrolled our coastline from Nov. 15 through April 15, keeping an eye out for shipwrecks and other signs of trouble on the waters. They were often engaged in rescuing shipwreck victims or retrieving bodies.
———
The larger item is a line-thrower that would have been aimed at a ship in distress. It would have been equipped with a heavy-duty rope, providing a lifeline to the shore. The line-throwing projectiles are in the foreground. The smaller, handgun-like item is a life-saving station flare gun, which would have been used to signal the position of a rescue operation.
———
You can view these items and learn more about the USLSS at the Nautical Museum at Horton Point Lighthouse.

We are nearing the end of our “Ten Squared: Local Farming through the Years” online art exhibit and sale. The exhibit runs through Aug. 31, and we invite you to view the lovely artwork that so beautifully represents our scenic North Fork.
———
These pieces of local art make a wonderful gift!
———
Artists are showing pieces that are 10” x 10” with a focus on farming, which is perhaps one of the most noted local industries in Southold Town’s history. Everyone is invited to view the artists’ work, and you may consider a purchase for $100, half of which will benefit Southold Historical Museum.
