Why were the men of the Pea Island Lifesaving Station honored 100 years later?

Hello, Known for their courage and dedication the Pea Island lifesavers led many daring rescues saving scores of men, women and children. In 1896, during a hurricane, they rescued the entire crew of the E.S. Newman for which 100 years later they were awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal. 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. Hope That Helps!

explanation:

this forms a narrow, steep sided inlet (sometimes deeper than 1300 metres) connected to the sea. the terminal moraine pushed down the valley by the glacier is left underwater at the fjord’s entrance, causing the water at the neck of the fjord to be shallower than the main body of the fjord behind it.
