Storm Warriors of Biddeford Pool - Harrowing Tales From the Fletchers Neck Life Saving Station

From 1874 until 1915, the "Storm Warriors" of the Fletchers Neck Life Saving Service and the citizens of the Village of Biddeford Pool shared a common history. Gleaned from local newspapers, stations logbooks, official records of the Life Saving Service, and the papers and memories of involved families, these are tales of men at odds with the fury of nature.
