HULL LIFE SAVING MUSEUM

An active calendar of lectures and visiting exhibits covers a broad range of topics related to the marine heritage of the New England coast... With a fleet of 23 boats HLM provides a robust schedule of coastal rowing programs in Boston Harbor and Hull, serving a growing following of adult members and youth groups. Participants row in crews of coxed sixes or fours in traditional boats that are designed for sea conditions. Open Water Rowing is easier to learn than flat-water rowing, to the stability and robustness of coastal rowing craft in contrast to the Olympic-style "crew" boats. The attractions of Boston Harbor and its islands are the reward for those crews who take the time to venture beyond the immediate environs of Hull and Boston Harbors. Open water rowing (aka Coastal Rowing) is a rapidly growing sport around the world and HLM offers a growing calendar of annual races that attract crews from all points in New England.
