Guardians of the North Shore Not a lot is known about the history of Eatons Neck Life Saving Station. The Life Saving Station may have been rebuilt around 1876.

The first Life Saving Station at Eatons Neck was built on the current site of the Station in 1849. In 1936, the Station was once again rebuilt and is the current house of the main mission building. The first known Keeper is Darius Ruland, who was appointed at the age of 49 on September 14, 1876, and who left on November 10, 1893 because he was physically disqualified. He was followed by Henry E. Ketcham, who was appointed on November 14, 1893, and served until retiring with third years' service on August 10, 1915. Then came William S. Terry from February 11, 1916 to November 2, 1922, when he also retired with thirty years of service. His successor George S. Wyant remained at the Station until June 2, 1924. The Station was listed as "discontinued as an active unit" from 1922 forward and no Keeper was assigned after George W. Wyant departed until C. E. Conklin arrived on August 26, 1929 from his assignment as Assistant to the Fourth District Commander. Even though the Station was carried as discontinued,he remained here until his reassignment to the Rockaway Point Station on June 26, 1933. Next, Chief Petty Officer W. Leach was reassigned from the Lone Hill Station in 1935, followed by Chief Petty Officer G. Anderson in 1936.

We could not be more proud of our members from U.S. Coast Guard Station Eatons Neck!

Even while off duty, these four incredible Coast Guardsmen demonstrated what it truly means to serve their community. Their courage, quick thinking, and selfless actions on July 1st helped save the life of Suffolk County Police Officer Nicholas Franco.

There is no telling what the outcome would have been had these four members not been in the right place at the right time. Because of their actions, Officer Franco has the opportunity to continue his life, be with his family, and watch his children grow up.

We cannot express enough how proud we are of these members. They never expected recognition or praise. They simply saw someone in need and acted without hesitation.

This is what being a Coast Guardsman is all about. Our commitment to serving others doesn’t end when we take off the uniform.

A huge thank you to the Town of Babylon for recognizing these outstanding individuals and their heroic actions.

There is much more to this incredible story, and we look forward to sharing it with you. Stay tuned for more!

Semper Paratus! 🇺🇸
