Rescue Men—The Story of the Pea Island Surfmen
7:30 p.m. Indoor Theatre at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Join us for the Outer Banks debut of the documentary film Rescue Men: The Story of the Pea Island Life Savers; Produced and directed by Los Angeles based DreamQuest Productions. On the night of October 11, 1896 in hurricane force winds, one crew known as the Pea Island Surfmen accomplished the impossible. Led by Keeper Richard Etheridge, this historic all black crew etched themselves into history rescuing stranded sailors whose ships had succumbed to the harsh Atlantic. Rescue Men is the story of the men that manned the Pea Island Lifesaving Station on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Due to the heroics and accomplishments of these brave men and others like them in the U.S. Lifesaving Service, we now have what is called “The United States Coast Guard.” View the trailer for Rescue Men at dreamquest.tv (click on Rescue Men) or rescuemenfilm.com. The film is to play on the History Channel and be shown at national and international film festivals. The Outer Banks History Center and many other local groups have provided technical expertise during the creation of this compelling Outer Banks story. A light reception will follow the film in the Grand Mall. (252) 475-1500 or roanokeisland.com.
