The Hull Lifesaving Museum, the museum of Boston Harbor Heritage, preserves the region's lifesaving tradition and maritime culure through collections, exhibits, experiential and interpretive education, research and service to others. The museum's open water rowing programs in Botson Harbor educate young people about themselves while developing a constituency that takes stewartship for its maritime history. The deeds, traditions, and ethics of ninetheenth century coastal lifesavers--Skills, Courage, and Caring--are the foundation of the museum's exhibits and programs, and its underlying commitment to working to impace society, and individual lives, for the better.
