According to Wikipedia, Ida Lewis was "the bravest woman in America."

... Ida Lewis was called "the Bravest Woman in America", and her exploits were detailed in national newspapers such as Harper's Weekly, the New York Tribune, and Putnam's Magazine. She met President Ulysses S. Grant, Vice-President Schuyler Colfax, General William Tecumseh Sherman and Admiral George Dewey, plus many of the wealthy and prominent people who summered in Newport. She is credited with having saved 18 lives during the 39 years she spent at Lime Rock. The actual number may have been higher.[1] She was awarded a Gold Lifesaving Medal for her work.

...

Ida Lewis was born in Newport, Rhode Island, the daughter of Captain Hosea Lewis of the Revenue Cutter Service. Her father was transferred to the Lighthouse Service and appointed keeper of Lime Rock Light in Newport in 1854, but in 1858 he was disabled by a stroke and his wife and daughter Ida took over his duties. Mr. Lewis died in 1872, and his wife was appointed keeper; Ida continued to help. Mrs. Lewis died in 1879, and Ida was appointed keeper.​

Must be developed, no obvious resale value.

Damn, I was sure this would be unique enough to have some value. Guess I'll just add it to the growing pile of interesting reg-fee domains I'm accumulating.
