Treasures of New York: Ocean Keeper showcases the series’ first Long Island “treasure,” the historic Amagansett Life-Saving Service Station. The station has been a unique centerpiece of Long Island history since it was built in 1902, and has served many functions over the years.

Go behind the scenes with these production photos from the documentary, which premieres November 1 at 8:30 p.m. on THIRTEEN:
