The Fenwick Island
Life-Saving Station was commissioned in 1891. 

No photograph can be located of the building. This is the Fenwick Island Light House complex located nearby the station.

This station responded to two major shipwrecks: the Odorilla in 1891, and the O.D. Witherell in 1911. No loss of life occurred.
