.Shipwrecks, Lifesaving and the story of Takanassee
This recently opened exhibit, in the Museum's West Gallery, tells the fascinating tale of the treacherous nature of early sea travel and the many shipwrecks along the Jersey shore, New Jersey's role in the nation's response to shipwrecks and the heroism of Lifesaving station #5. Visitors to the exhibit will rediscover fond memories of the Takanassee Beach Club.
Attendees will learn about the three distinctive buildings that still stand at Takanassee which were part of the U.S. Lifesaving Service, created in 1948, in response to the alarming loss and property from ships wrecked off our nation's shores; most notably along New Jersey's coast.
On display are relics retrieved from legendary local wrecks, the New Era (1854), the Adonis (1859), the Ruslans (1877) and the Pliny (1882).
