It is located in Rodanthe, North Carolina , on Hatteras Island of the Outer Banks , on the east side of what is today Highway 12. Today, the surviving buildings of the station form a museum. History Chicamacomico was an active US Coast Guard facility from 1915 until 1954. After its decommissioning the facility was transformed into a museum. The CLSS is perhaps best remembered for the 1918 rescue of the British tanker Mirlo . Forty two crew members of the Mirlo were saved by station personnel. Numerous accolades and awards were bestowed upon the 6 life savers including gold medals in their honor presented by King George V of the United Kingdom and the Grand Cross of the American Cross of Honor . To date only eleven Grand Cross of the American Cross of Honor awards have been bestowed in the history of the United States with six being bestowed upon the members of the CLSS.

orphan date August 2009 The ILS World LifeSaving Championships are the world championships for Lifesaving sport events. They are sanctioned by the International LifeSaving Federation ILS , conducted every 2 years, and commonly marketed and known as the Rescue series, for example Rescue 2008 . The World Lifesaving Championships incorporate 3 World Championships The World National Teams LifeSaving Championships for athletes selected to represent their country the World Interclub Lifesaving Championships for athletes who are competing for, and representing their clubs and the World Masters LifeSaving Championships for athletes over the age of 30. History Prior to the amalgamation of WLS and FIS in 1993 to create ILS, both WLS and FIS conducted World Championship events in LifeSaving Sports. Founded in 1971 WLS conducted ocean and beach based world championships for National Teams in South Africa in 1974 and Interclub World Championships in 1981 and 1983. The 1988, 1990, and 1992 Rescue series of World Championship events were also organised by WLS. Rescue 88, the 1988 World Championships were the first international championships to conduct both ocean and pool events. In 1956 prior to the advent of WLS, as part of the 1956 Olympic Games celebrations Surf Lifesaving Australia a founding member of WLS hosted an International Lifesaving Championships at Torquay Beach in which teams from several countries competed against each other. It could be argued that this was the first World Lifesaving Championships for ocean and beach events. Founded in 1910, member nations of FIS agreed to conduct World Championships in pool lifesaving events. The first such championships were conducted in Paris, France in 1955 and were held sporadically over the next 40 years until the final FIS Championships in 1995. These contests were strictly for national representative teams only. Since 1996, World LifeSaving Championships have been conducted solely by ILS every two years.
