While doing some reading on the use of Lyle Guns, I saw a picture that definitely showed some women involved in the rescue of a stranded ship from a shore based operation. And, the caption read that the team depicted was a part of the United States Life Saving Service.
Lyle Guns were line throwing guns, basically short barreled cannons, used in shore based rescue operations until the 1950's.
I cannot seem to locate that article on line anymore, but if I find it I will try to post a link.
