Notes
  • Significance: The existing Oregon Inlet Station was a continuation of the original Bodie Island and Oregon Inlet Life Boat Stations. The Bodie Island Station (actually located south of Oregon Inlet) was one of the first seven stations commissioned by the Life Saving Service in 1874, for service on the North Carolina Outer Banks. By 1883, the number of established stations had expanded to twenty-nine. Also in 1883, the station known as Tommy's Hummock (located immediately north of Oregon Inlet, on Bodie Island) was renamed Bodie Island Station; and the "old" Bodie Island Station (south of Oregon Inlet was renamed Oregon Inlet Station.) All but four of the twenty-nine stations were on the Outer Banks and several are still standing, However, most of these early buildings were converted into Life Saving Service Boathouses when larger stations were built and have been transferred to other government agencies, sold by the government, demolished, or destroyed by storms or fire.
