USCG station woods hole

United States Coast Guard Station Woods Hole, located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, traces its origins to the U.S. Life-Saving Service, which began operations in the area in the late 19th century. The station became part of the Coast Guard following the service's merger with the Revenue Cutter Service in 1915. Throughout its history, Station Woods Hole has played a critical role in search and rescue missions, maritime law enforcement, and environmental protection in the busy waters of Cape Cod and the Islands. Today, it remains a vital hub for the Coast Guard's operations in Southeastern Massachusetts, supporting both local and national security missions.
