The Coast Guard played an integral role within the Admiralty during this period between 1856 and 1923. Their responsibility encompassed safeguarding both lives at sea and coastal communities from potential dangers lurking beyond their shores. Photographer Herbert Hughes masterfully captures this scene with impeccable detail, showcasing his talent for immortalizing historical moments through his lens.
