Lifesaving Heroes and the Ayrshire Rescue Tribute
A century ago the Ayrshire was lost in a North Atlantic blizzard off New Jersey with 20 on board. Rescuers from the Life Saving Benevolent Association of New York used a Francis Life Car to save all but one, as the group formed to guard seacoasts and honor lifesavers. Benjamin Downing and his son earned the first awards for risking their lives. the Coast Guard later assumed responsibility for sea safety. The association today funds scholarships, gifts, and decorations honoring heroism in rescues from drowning. Butterflies signify joy in Chinese love.
