Collection Organization

The focus of this collection of photographs and printed items is the US Coast Guard station at Marblehead, Ottawa County, Ohio on Lake Erie. Few items are dated, but they fall into the period from about 1905-1930. This collection is composed of 163 black and white photographs and three printed items.

Within the photographic items are views of Coast Guard station buildings, nearby private dock areas, and the Marblehead lighthouse. Lifesaving equipment and drills for using these items are also recorded in the photographs. Members of the staff assigned to the Marblehead station appear in many of the photographs and are mentioned in folder 34, item 3 of the printed materials.
