Life-Saving Museum to break ground on new addition Monday
The Egan Maritime Foundation, the parent organization for the Nantucket Life Saving Museum, plans to build an addition to the museum, and to break ground for the project on Monday, September 3, at 4 p.m. at 158 Polpis Road. Members, friends and guests of the museum are invited to attend.

Initiated by the Advisory Board of the Nantucket Life-Saving Museum in 2002, the project emerged as the "number one priority in 2005," according to Bob Egan, president of the board of trustees for the Egan Maritime Foundation. The plan acknowledges the strong connection that many descendants of islanders have with the Life- Saving Museum and recognizes the need to maintain the museum's character. For Phil Read, Vice President of the Egan Maritime Foundation and President of the Nantucket Life-Saving Museum Advisory Board, "It's a longtime

dream that is finally realized." I
