Light Hearted episode 32
Wood Island is a small island about a quarter of a mile inside the mouth of the Piscataqua River in Kittery, Maine. A lifesaving station was built on the island in late 1907. Following World War II, the station was abandoned and the property languished for six decades. Sam Reid, president of the Wood Island Life Saving Station Association, has been the spearhead of the amazing restoration on Wood Island.
