Remnants of the abandoned Brigantine life-saving station from the 1800s resurface after a winter storm, Friday, Feb. 5, 2021. In the years before the U.S. Coast Guard formed, boaters who found themselves in peril off the Jersey Shore relied on help from rescue crews stationed inside these brick-and-concrete life-saving stations.
