Coast Guard Station Hatteras Inlet

Coast Guard Station Hatteras Inlet, located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, traces its origins to the U.S. Life-Saving Service, which established a station in the area in 1883. The station became part of the U.S. Coast Guard after the 1915 merger of the Life-Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service. Throughout its history, Coast Guard Station Hatteras Inlet has played a vital role in search and rescue operations, maritime law enforcement, and hurricane response along the treacherous waters near Cape Hatteras, known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic." Today, it continues to safeguard mariners and support the local community, maintaining a proud tradition of service.
