Lifesaving Crew

Keepers: Benjamin B. Manter was appointed JAN 3, 1893 and served until 1915. Cyrus H. Merritt (acting) was still serving past 1915.
Remarks: Brant Rock (#29) A station was built and placed in operation "at Brant Rock, on Green Harbor Point" in the 1892—1893 time period. Mention is made in 1919 that the station was extensively repaired and, in 1921, the building was repaired and remodeled and heat, light, and water systems were installed. Also in 1921, a new well was driven. The first keeper, Benjamin B. Manter, was appointed on January 3, 1893 and retired at age 64 with more than thirty years service on March 22, 1915. He was succeeded by Cyrus H. Merrit (acting until his appointment on September 5, 1916 and retiring on May 10, 1928). Next, Chief Petty Officer R. W. Cahoon is shown as being in charge in 1928, having been transferred from the Monomoy Point station. He was relieved by Chief L. S. Baker. On November 4, 1937, Everett M. Mills assumed command after being reassigned from the Straitsmouth station. The station was still listed in 1945; subsequently the property was turned over to the GSA in 1953.
