One of these boats is a self-bailer, the only one on Cape Cod. There are also two beach carts with apparatus and one life-car. Six surfmen with Keeper Kelley go in the self-bailer at the time of shipwreck. A horse owned by the government, called 'Susan,' is kept at the station to assist in hauling the apparatus to scenes of disaster. There are also two other horses owned by the surfmen kept there.
Cats are the pets of the surfmen, a half dozen making their home at the station.
Both the light and life-saving station were decommissioned in 1923. All that remains today is a wooden lightkeeper's house, a cast iron light tower lined with brick and a brick generator house, listed on the National Register of Historic Houses.
