Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Bodie Island Life-Saving Station and Boat House, Historic Structure Report, 2005: For Cultural Resources, Southeast Region, National Park Service
In time, many of these buildings have been lost. A number have been destroyed by storms. Quite a few were sold as govern ment surplus property in the mid-twentieth century, when the initial need of saving the lives of endangered seafarers had been largely eliminated. Of the ones sold to the private sector, some have been relocated. Some have had major modifications. None have provisions to guarantee the retention of their historic character.
