U.S. Life-Saving Service Drama Plays
- PDF
Description
Forerunner of the U.S. Coast Guard, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
- Are you studying the post-Civil War time period?
- Would you like an introduction to the U.S. Life-Saving Service, a search and rescue organization (1878-1915)?
- Are you a teacher in need of a monologue for a girl or a play with 7 boys?
- Are you part of a maritime museum who needs a short drama play for an event?
This book contains an abundance of information (including old photos) about early search and rescue, wrapped up into two short drama plays that are often done as reader's theatre.
1) “THE SURVIVOR,” based on a true incident, takes place in 1904 and is about a sailor who was rescued the previous night from a stranded ship off Cape Cod.
2) In “THE BIRD WE DIDN'T EAT,” enter into daily life at a remote search and rescue station on Cape Cod with seven male actors representing the surfmen and keeper (captain). The many incidents in this play are true.
(These plays are also included in a unit study I wrote called, Exploring the U.S. Life-Saving Service 1878-1915.)
